I need help with rtl8139.c I am running
RH 7.1 on a PII 350 with a dfe530tx+ the problem is that I cant compile it something about the kernel so I went and downloaded the rpm from Scyld with rtl8139 already compiled. when I run insmod it says unresolved symbol so next I tried downloading pci-scan.c kern_compat.h pci-scan.h and via-rhine.h thay compile fine but agian when I run insmod it comes up unresolved symbol.. please some one help thanx

You should have the modules included with your distribution by default. Try modprobe rtl8139, and if that doesn't work, try modprobe 8139too

I don't work with red hat, but i shoulden't be to diferent. Go to /etc/conf.modules(i don't know if this file existes in red hat) and were it says alias eth0 off.
put like this, alias rtl8139 on
this will boot the module in auto, now to put the ethernet running you must go to rc.conf
network_devices="_0"
ipaddrs="<your ip> broadcast <of your part of network netmask 255.255.255.0
this is it, but this is for lan, if you wish to connect to internet, you can follow the same steps, and when you boot, as root you do
dhclient eth0, and it will automaticly get your network ip address
I hope it was this you wore looking for.
