I've got a RealTek 8139 PCI Ethernet card in my PowerMac 6500 running
YDL 2.2, under the KDE control center I can see that Linux recognizes
the card as a Realtek 8139, but for some reason it's disabled.
I found a source file for the card and tried to compile and install it
using the included methods, but I get strange errors from the gcc
compiler and I'll admit I know nothing about using gcc - I just typed
the commands like the driver said and it failed, so now I'm lost.
Here's what the Control Center has to say aobut the card:
00:0e.0 Ethernet controller: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. RTL-8139
Subsystem: Compex: Unknown device 8139
Flags: bus master, medium devsel, latency 32, IRQ 25
I/O ports at 0400 [disabled]
Memory at 80800000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [disabled]
Capabilities: [50] Power Management version 2
But I can't configure the card - I assume because of the [disabled]
warnings in the listing above ....
Anyone have any idea how to get this installed on YDL 2.2 ?
Thanks,
Joshua Miller
