Elio, Thank you for that information. I have a system with every EL5 base kernel from 5.0 to 5.5 installed and so, when using the double-grep technique as shown in FAQ #4 at the ELRepo Project website [1], I see the following -- $ grep -i 1969 /lib/modules/*/modules.alias | grep -i 1026 $ grep -i 10ec /lib/modules/*/modules.alias | grep -i 8029 /lib/modules/2.6.18-128.el5/modules.alias:alias pci:v000010ECd00008029sv*sd*bc*sc*i* ne2k-pci /lib/modules/2.6.18-164.el5/modules.alias:alias pci:v000010ECd00008029sv*sd*bc*sc*i* ne2k-pci /lib/modules/2.6.18-194.el5/modules.alias:alias pci:v000010ECd00008029sv*sd*bc*sc*i* ne2k-pci /lib/modules/2.6.18-53.el5/modules.alias:alias pci:v000010ECd00008029sv*sd*bc*sc*i* ne2k-pci /lib/modules/2.6.18-8.el5/modules.alias:alias pci:v000010ECd00008029sv*sd*bc*sc*i* ne2k-pci /lib/modules/2.6.18-92.el5/modules.alias:alias pci:v000010ECd00008029sv*sd*bc*sc*i* ne2k-pci That shows that the EL5 kernels do not support the Atheros/Attansic NIC (1969:1026) natively but the Realtek NIC (10ec:8029) is supported. Now going to the Device IDs page of the ELRepo Project's website [2] and looking for the fingerprint (1969:1026) of the Atheros/Attansic NIC, I see that device should be supported by the kernel independent, kABI tracking kmod-atl1e package [3]. As I do not know whether you have a 32- or 64-bit system, I will show you the locations for both of the packages -- http://elrepo.org/linux/elrepo/el5/i386/RPMS/kmod-atl1e-1.0.0.11-1.el5.elrepo.i686.rpm http://elrepo.org/linux/elrepo/el5/x86_64/RPMS/kmod-atl1e-1.0.0.11-1.el5.elrepo.x86_64.rpm Once you have obtained the correct version of the package that matches your system's architecture and have copied it to the target system, just install it with -- rpm -ivh kmod-atl1e-*.rpm You will now have the drivers to support both of the NICs -- atl1e (for the Atheros/Attansic) and ne2k-pci (for the Realtek). You should now be able to configure the network by invoking -- system-config-network Finally, I should disclose that I am one of the founders of the ELRepo Project and trust that the advice I have given, above, will help you.
