ASOUND 10/100 Pinging Problem

[DSwain]

I have an ASOUND 10/100 Ethernet Card. First off, it would be good to know how to get the driver installed for the network card. Another thing, I was using Red Hat 9 today, and I noticed it had the driver I have for the card, but it cannot ping the network, nor get any internet. I also have a linksys router, but I have had linux on at least the internet though a router with a different network card. Any ideas for help?

And one last thing, this card is not the Realtek chipset everybody seems to think it is. This is my card

Not the realtek chipset I would love it to be, because I've had linux work with that chipset.

Finally, I also have this set of instructions to install the drivers, but I need them "simplified" so I can make sense of them.

Installation:

1. copy the source code fealnx.c to Linux,

2. compile the source code, the instruction for compiling the driver is
as follows:

#gcc -DMODULE -D__KERNEL__ -I/usr/src/linux/net/inet -Wall
-Wstrict-prototypes -O6 -c fealnx.c

3. insert the driver as module,

#insmod fealnx.o

4. bind your card to an IP address

#ifconfig eth0 ${IPADDR} broadcast ${BROADCAST} netmask ${NETMASK}

5. add your card to IP routing table,

#route add -net ${NETWORK} netmask ${NETMADK} eth0

6. now, you should be able to ping local network.
