Hi Mario,

I had a fight with the same card last week. This is how I got it to
work:

1 Get the Realtek RTL8139 driver source from www.scyld.com
2 Compile using the command:

kgcc -DCARDBUS -DMODULE -Wall -Wstrict-prototypes -O6 -c rtl8139.c -o
realtek_cb.o -I/usr/src/linux-2.2.19/pcmcia-cs-3.1.24/include
-I/usr/src/linux/include

(all on one line of course)

3 Put the resulting realtek_cb.o in /lib/modules/2.2.19-7.0.1/net
4 Edit the file /etc/pcmcia/config and add the following lines in the
device section:

device "realtek_cb"
  class "network" module "cb_enabler", "realtek_cb"

5 and the following lines in the Ethernet adapter section:

card "Dynalink L100CLV CardBus 10/100 Ethernet Adapter"
  manfid 0x0000, 0x021b
  bind "realtek_cb"

6 Then restart pcmcia services with:

/etc/rc.d/init.d/pcmcia restart

I'm not sure if I had to do a depmod before step 6. You will see if it's
needed.
This made it work for me, using RH7.0 and kernel 2.2.19. Of course, you
will have to modify the version numbers in all coomands according to
your version.

Good luck,

Albert
