What lan card do you have?

What module are you trying to use with it?

What list is it showing up in?

[herry]

so when you do ifconfig you see something like this :


eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:00:39:15:FB:27

Yet another fake Realtek ethernet device. See this thread

yup ur right
in windows it uses realtek drivers
those cheap
companies uses chinese devices
what can we do brother
so had to use them

[bunty82]

it means i had to buy a new lan card
may be of Dlink or any other link
it sucks man
if its this way around

[Dapper Dan]

Network interface cards are cheap as dirt. You can get a good D-link, Linksys or Netgear for around ten dollars new and just about all of them, (save for the Chinese counterfeits) will work with Linux. But you DID see on there where he finally got it working right?

[bunty82]

hmm
alright
i'll buy one
thanks Dapper Dan for ur help
otherwize i would have kept on searching for this internet thing

[bunty82]
