Hi i am a new user to this forum and to linux also..
I have fedora 6 on my machine and realtek 8139d network ethernet card..
i have not been able to install the drivers for it as of yet..

can some body guide me in doing that.. or plz direct me to some place where i can download the drivers...
Thanks

well if it is fc6 then the driver would be there for sure. if it is not loaded by default which u can find out by

lsmod|grep -i 8139

to load the driver manually

modprobe 8139too or
modproge 8139cp

u can find the list of driver in the directory
/lib/modules/"kernel-version"/kernel/drivers/net/
