Hi,
I've had gentoo 2005.1 with a 2.6.15-r1 gentoo kernel installed for the past 6 months. Recently, my ethernet card conked off and after lots of testing, I was advised by my 'knowledgeable' cablenet operator to get a new one - so I did.
I've got an intex lan card with an Realtek 8139d chipset now and I got a drivers cd along with that. I tried compiling the source for the module which they've provided in that CD but was unsuccessful. I used to have a Pronet card with a Realtek 8139 chipset and that was autodetected during installation.
What I was wondering was if there is any other way to go about installing this new ethernet card and also unregister the old one; as during boot it gives an error saying that eth0 is not present or something to that effect.
I tried looking up google and forums, but couldn't find much.
Thanks in advance. Abhijeet
