Thanks, Paul.
I've tried installing all the drivers on Mandriva's configuration tool
with "Realtek" or "RTL" in their names. None worked, unfortunately.
You know of any other means I could install a driver downloaded from
somewhere? (There are no drivers available on realtek.com.tw.) But then
installing linux "drivers" is not as straightforward as installing
Windows device drivers, is it?

Hello Abe,
I dont' use mandrake, but you may wish to find out if you can use
realtek drivers from your device list.
This guy looks like he got it working under mandrake:

I just completed installation of Mandriva Linux 2006 on a new machine
with the following specs:
Motherboard: Red Fox GeForce 6100-M9
Processor: AMD Athlon 64 3000+
RAM: 1 GB
How do I get started connecting to our LAN if my network interface
device is not on the list found in "Mandriva Linux Control Center" >
"Network & Internet" > "Set up a new network interface (LAN, ISDN,
ADSL, ...)"? The device is on-board. Here's all the information on it
found on the motherboard's manual:
10/100 LAN PHY
- PHY: RTL8201BL/RTL8201CL.
- Supports 10 Mb/s and 100 Mb/s auto-negotiation.
- Half/Full duplex capability
- Supports ACPI, PCI power management
Is there any other means of setting up my network connection,
preferably another GUI configuration tool (my apologies to
configuration-by-hand purists)?
Thanks,
Abe Mandac
