try
#cat /proc/pci
see if your card is there
(would look like similar to...)
Bus 0, device 8, function 0:
Ethernet controller: D-Link System Inc RTL8139 Ethernet (rev 16).
IRQ 12.
Master Capable. Latency=32. Min Gnt=32.Max Lat=64.
I/O at 0x6000 [0x60ff].
Non-prefetchable 32 bit memory at 0xf0000000 [0xf00000ff].
Bus 0, device 9, function 0:
Ethernet controller: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. RTL-8139/8139C (rev 16).
IRQ 11.
Master Capable. Latency=32. Min Gnt=32.Max Lat=64.
I/O at 0x6100 [0x61ff].
Non-prefetchable 32 bit memory at 0xf0001000 [0xf00010ff].
type dmesg, if you don't see your card there... its not setup :(
#man dmesg
for more info.
I have for example, after typing dmesg I notice: (built into the kernel, in this case)
eth0: D-Link DFE-538TX (RealTek RTL8139) at 0xc3002000, <MAC addy removed>, IRQ 12
eth0: Identified 8139 chip type 'RTL-8139C'
eth1: RealTek RTL8139 Fast Ethernet at 0xc3004000, <MAC addy removed>, IRQ 11
eth1: Identified 8139 chip type 'RTL-8139A'
Using locate, I noticed I have eth0 and eth1 located:
/proc/sys/net/ipv4/conf
if you have it setup as a module, edit your /etc/modules.conf
file and add the following line
alias eth0 8139too
I Hope this helped.
Richard.
