I just installed RedHat Linux on my computer today in a dual-boot between it and Windows XP. However, I am having trouble getting RedHat to recognice my network card. For what it's worth it's a Realtek 8139 PCI card and I'm totally clueless as to setting it up (IRQs, memory ranges, and other stuff). Anyone else who has had this problem and fixed it, what should I do?

Thanks!

Network cards can be a pain in the butt to setup!!! I would suggest spending a little mor emoney and just buy a 3com it will be autodetected otherwise youll be spending all day looking for drivers and such for this card...

The drivers are there. It is just not recognizing the card. Weird...
