Hello all,
I have a Dynex DX-E202 PCMCIA ethernet card that I am trying to get to work with my RHEL 5.2 install on a Dell Precision M4300 laptop. The laptop has the standard on board NIC, which I can get to work fine, but I need to communicate on 2 separate networks, so I need a 2nd nic. It comes with a windows intallation disk, so I have been trying to find the drivers for it for linus with no luck. When I reboot after clearing all NIC/hardware entries out of network configuration utility a Realtek Semiconductor RTL 8139/8139C/8139C+C (eth0) entry shows up in the Hardware tab sometimes, but adding a new device that maps to this has no effect. I can add the device selecting this hardware, but when I go to activate it keeps giving an error saying the hardware isn't present.and "initialization delayed". Has anyone successfully gotten this card to work on redhat? If not, does anyone know of a PCMCIA ethernet card that they know for a fact works with RHEL 5.2? PCMCIA is pretty standard and I would expect pretty much any card to work, so I'm a bit disappointed so far. Also assuming you can get the card to work, is there any problem with having the on board NIC and the PCMCIA both connected to the same network with DHCP? I was wondering if that was causing a problem during initial setup(even though one will operate with static IP on a separate network later). Thanks, Chris
