HELP!RHEL4 cannot recognize my network card

[yjia21]

Hello, everybody!

I am new in linux world, lots of stuff need to learn.

Recently, I install RHEL4 on my computer, everything went smoothly, no error report after first reboot.
I just cannot find my network card, there is no network hardware probed,when I check it with 'neat' command. I restart kuzdu , still not found.
But when I switched to install Fedora core 4 on my computer, my network card is recognized.

I am confused, and need help.
Thanks advance.

Probably just a kernel module issue. What module is FC4 loading for the network card?

Look in /etc/modprobe.conf for a line that contains 'eth0' (assuming it's for your primary network card). If you find that line, just make note of the module it's using, and then see what module RHEL is loading and make sure it's the same one.

The line will look something like this:

alias [module] eth0

For example, one of mine is:

alias 8139too eth0

So I know it's loading up the Realtek 8139too module....

Yes, I tried that, it can find my NIC now
alias sundance eth0

Thanks very much

I did install module, but this driver sundance.ko cant be installed.
I think it is not compatiable with RHEL4 .

I am using Dlink DFE 550TX NIC.
