    What do you mean by you have installed it but need help installing it? Do you mean configuring the card to allow internet access? If so, what distribution are you running? Chances are that it has a built in tool for doing such a thing, but it would depend on the distribution.

    Being a RealTek, i would say that it would have the relevent module loaded to use the card already... to check that, type:
    Code:
    /sbin/ifconfig
    in a terminal and it should list devices "lo" (loopback, ip address 127.0.0.1) and eth0 (first ethernet device).

    If it shows there, you just need to configure it.
