Greetings,
I am tearing my hair at getting this to work under centos 5.5/Ubuntu 10.04.
Any suggesstions (Repos, RPMs etc)?
My MB Intel embedded NIC blow up after a lightning (Mumbai get _real_ heavy mansoon rains inter alia).
I want this to make work under Centos 5.x (and 6.x subsequently who DVD I have been downloading with a pithy 128kbps connection).

Sorry, but I don't have a clue of what your problem *is*. Are you saying you had a surge, and it burned out the NIC, and you're trying to use an card?
Also, what kind of connection do you have: is it T-3, T-1, DSL, FIOS, or cable?

I had a surge and made onboard Intel Port inoperational.
In a hurry, due to my then budget and my stupidity bought this cards which just has a .c file under its linux folder in its driver floppy.
My connection is coming from Local ISP a franchisee of Pacenet ISP called BBPaceThane.
I have a CAT5 cable running from a switch froma a 7-story building to 5th floor.
I am compelled to use windows to access internet which I dont want to.

Oy. What's the make and model of the card?

Ah. Here's a question: are you *sure* that you have a working connection, and that they're not dead?
Personal note: several times, I've had 'Net access via the cable TV/ISP, and the ->ethernet port<- on the cable modem burned out: they could ping the modem, but I couldn't. Replace the cable modem, everything's wonderful.
So, be aware that such a thing can happen. I only knew about it because, the first time it happened, I was going crazy trying to figure out what was gone, and mentioned it to a guy who ran a computer store, and he'd seen it happen.

Ugh!

The Realtek based cards are so common, the necessary drivers should already be installed. At least I never had to install anything extra for my CentOS 5.x setup to just work with the RTL cards.
So there's a good chance something else is broken. Maybe you can check dmesg and see if the card is actually detected during boot?
