Hai all,
Iam using FC4 along with windows XP. I installed RTL8139D fast ethernet adaptor and its working fine in XP. But iam not able to install the same in Fedora core 4 which is having 2.6.11-1.1369 kernel.
The output that i get with the command lspci and lspci -n is as below. I need ur help and suggestion

The output of lspci is:

Thanks for the link you provided.
I have a doubt with the solution provided in the link. Where they given

I went into drivers/net/8139too.c and added a line

{0x00ec, 0x8139, PCI_ANY_ID, PCI_ANY_ID, 0, 0, RTL8139 },

to the pci_id table with the 00ec:8139 address, and now the card works
with 8139too. .

Here in the above lines they given drivers/net/8139too.c. which i think represents /lib/modules/2.6.xx/kernel/drivers/net/8139too.ko i hope so.
But since 8139too.ko is an object file, i dont know how to edit this one.

And there is also no pci_id table in FC4.

guide me please!

So you need a source file of that.

Download 8139too.c from here & modify as per your needs & compile it.
http://joshua.raleigh.nc.us/docs/lin...ml/286454.html

Or you could refer RTL site for that.. or GOOGLE it.

Go thru this also
https://www.redhat.com/archives/fedo.../msg00282.html
& then read this
https://www.redhat.com/archives/fedo.../msg00283.html

As for an overall view..
Go through this http://www.linuxforum.com/forums/ind...owtopic=113593 for complete story.

I added the line which i specified below in bold in the source file 8139too_n.c . I got the driver from realtek support team and i here given below a part of that C program.


static struct pci_device_id rtl8139_pci_tbl[] __devinitdata = {
{0x10ec, 0x8139, PCI_ANY_ID, PCI_ANY_ID, 0, 0, RTL8139 },
{0x1904, 0x8139, PCI_ANY_ID, PCI_ANY_ID, 0, 0, RTL8139 },
{0x10ec, 0x8138, PCI_ANY_ID, PCI_ANY_ID, 0, 0, RTL8139_CB },
{0x1113, 0x1211, PCI_ANY_ID, PCI_ANY_ID, 0, 0, SMC1211TX },
/* {0x1113, 0x1211, PCI_ANY_ID, PCI_ANY_ID, 0, 0, MPX5030 },*/
{0x1500, 0x1360, PCI_ANY_ID, PCI_ANY_ID, 0, 0, DELTA8139 },
{0x4033, 0x1360, PCI_ANY_ID, PCI_ANY_ID, 0, 0, ADDTRON8139 },
{0x1186, 0x1300, PCI_ANY_ID, PCI_ANY_ID, 0, 0, DFE538TX },
{0x10ec, 0x8129, PCI_ANY_ID, PCI_ANY_ID, 0, 0, RTL8129 },

/* some crazy cards report invalid vendor ids like
* 0x0001 here. The other ids are valid and constant,
* so we simply don't match on the main vendor id.
*/
{PCI_ANY_ID, 0x8139, 0x10ec, 0x8139, 0, 0, RTL8139 },

{0,}

and i also added 0x1904:0x8139 (which is the ethernet card detail) in the file /usr/share/hwdata/pcitable.

After that based on the instruction from the README file of the driver , i run the following commands. But its shows some error which is shown below

what i have to do now, guide me.

Hello i had recompiled the kernel with the changes as you specified in the soucefile 8139too.c .
After this compilation, now in the partition of 9GB that i alloted for fedora i have only 500Mb remaining.
I restarted my system and now iam getting 2 options in the GRUB Boot loader.They are as given below

Fedora Core(2.6.11-prep) -----> (which is the new one)

Fedora 4 (Existing option)

what i have to do now to remove this extra option and also to free the memory of the partition?
