Hello,

I have just aquired a SMC EZ Card 10/100 (PCI) and unfortunately am having
trouble installing it on my new linux system. I am using Redhat 5.1
installing from CD and the installation program cannot detect the card. This
is obviously a driver problem. I have heard the RealTek RTL 8129/8139 driver
would suffice but haven't found a copy of it. Is this driver correct and if
so where can I get it?

I would be very grateful if somebody could point me to the correct driver
for this card and how to install the driver and get the networking active.
Unfortunately I am new to linux and general installation but thankfully know
a little about UNIX.

Please reply to my email address or post to the group.

Thankyou in advance.

Robin Grant.
