Network Card not detected when installing RHEL 5

[linksyswrt54gs]

Hi i have below average knowledge of linux. I installed red hat linux enterprise 5 as dual boot with windows. After installation when i tried to setup networking i found that it has not detected my RealTek Semiconductor RTL8168B/8111B PCI-E Gigabit Ethernet Adapter card. So i thought may be it didnot had the driver and so I tried to download the driver from realtek website. pls see them below

LINUX driver for kernel 2.6.x and 2.4.x (Support x86 and x64)
PHP Code:

LINUX driver for kernel 2.4.x (Support x86 and x64)
PHP Code:
www(dot)mediafire(dot)com/?ju3ob2v8108r33e
there were two drivers related to linux. and i download them both now my question is
1) network card not detected is it a driver related issue?.
2) are this correct driver for my network card?
3)out of 2 drivers, which driver is for me and ?
4)how to install the driver. i have no idea so to what command or how to install a driver on red hat enterprise linux 5.0?

some more info
Pentium(R) Dual-Core CPU E5300 2.60GHz
4gb ram
1 TB HDD
dual boot with windows.


Any help will be highly highly appreciated. i cannot work further until this problem is resolved. Thank you All.

regards
pat

Your driver is included in the RHEL 5.2 update.

[zrdc28]

First check if it recognizes the card "lspci | grep -i net"

This is what mine looks like, First the ethernet next the wireless.
05:02.0 Ethernet controller: Broadcom Corporation NetXtreme BCM5782 Gigabit Ethernet (rev 03)
05:04.0 Network controller: RaLink RT2800 802.11n PCI

Second list modules loaded, "lsmod"

This is a part of mine, Please note the rt2800sta, That is my driver loaded and ready to run. Look for your driver is should start with a rt???. the next driver is my sound, then thermal etc. If you don't see it post your lsmod it will be quite long.
rt2860sta 512426 1
snd_intel8x0 22387 2
thermal 10194 0
snd_ac97_codec 89467 1 snd_intel8x0
i2c_algo_bit 4355 1

The first part tells you that the computer sees the card, the second tells you that the module is loaded.

I don't think OP will see the card until the updated r8169 driver is installed. It was introduced in the 2.6.18 kernel included in 5.2, AKA RHEL5 U2.

If your system is entitled for Red Hat support, you can get the latest kernel with "yum update kernel". If not, you could download the 5.2 iso and install the kernel rpm with "yum localinstall".
