I am trying to install the above network adapter in Linux using control
panel.  Can anyone advise on how to let the Linux detect the adapter, which
I found a supported board on the HW compatibility list of REDHAT?  Your
advice most apprecaited.

This is not a General Unix admin question, and does not belong on this list.
Try a Linux or a Redhat list.

Also You may wish to look at the Kernel-HOWTO or something like that.  You may
need to compile a new kernel if Redhat doesn't comep packaged with a module
for your NIC.

I have had problems with D-Link cards in Redhat so I moved back to SuSE. I
know alot of people don't like SuSE but I find most of the Hardware support
seems far better than Redhats since it moved to versions 6 up wards

Cheers

John,

If I remember correctly, the DE220 is an NE2000 clone.  I had a RH4.2
system that used a DE220, so yes, it definitely is supported.  I don't
have access to the machine, so I can't really provide details beyond
this...

I hope that at least points you in the right direction though...

go to /lib/modules/"linux version"/net
modprobe driver.o
insmod driver.o

driver.o is only an example... use the correct one for your network card
