RTL8139D PCI LAN Card problem

[mndar]

The PCI device ID of your card -> 1904:8139 is not present in the Linux PCI ID list http://pciids.sourceforge.net/
Thats the reason your card's name isn't seen with lspci . You can just add the data to /usr/share/misc/hwdata/pci.ids. Just open the file, the format is pretty clear.
What is the error/output with
modprobe 8139too
modprobe 8139too media=0x01 and
modprobe 8139cp
Can you post the output of lspci along with lspci -n Just to find out the Class of your NIC. That could be useful.

[jaga]

sorry for the delay.

I will give the details of lspci & lspci -n within 10 min.

Before that i would like to inform you that everytime when i boot fedora 4,
iam geeting this line on my screen

ACPI: BIOS age(1998) fails cutoff(2001), acpi=force is required to enable acpi

Does it have any impact on it?

[jaga]

I had edited the Pci.ids files and the lines that i added is shown below along with some other lines from the same file

And for the commands

modprobe 8139too
modprobe 8139too media=0x01 and
modprobe 8139cp

there is no output. It simply goes to next line.

[mndar]

Hey, if the module is loading correctly, why not try the following command
ifconfig eth0 <ip-address>
Also try modprobe 8139too media=0x02
If it works, we can load the module during boot.
The pci.ids thing was just for fun. Anyway, I think the line to be added is

1904 Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd.

8139 My Card

And the BIOS thing. I think you just need to enable ACPI in the BIOS.
BTW, are you sure that your Card is a Realtek 8139D. The Linux PCI.IDs doesn't have an entry, thats why I am curious. Don't go by what drivers you use in Windows

[jaga]

I tried to load the module and i think the module is working. But still the ethernet adaptor is not detected. I also changed the pci.ids. And i here below provided the output of varies commands that i tried. And i think it will give you a perfect idea.

[mndar]

After modprobe 8139too media=0x02 or after modprobe 8139too media=0x01 or modprobe 8139too did you try
ifconfig eth0 <ip-addr>

cat /proc/iomem should show the module 8139too

Also check
mii-tool

I just suggested media=0x02, it must be media=0x01 itself. Doesn't hurt to try !

[jaga]

I tried mii-tool also but its of no use.

Just have a look on this link http://www.cs.helsinki.fi/linux/linu...2-46/0485.html

I tried to change the source file 8139too_n.c as per the instruction in the above link. I here shown below in bold later the changes that i had made

static struct pci_device_id rtl8139_pci_tbl[] __devinitdata = {
{0x10ec, 0x8139, PCI_ANY_ID, PCI_ANY_ID, 0, 0, RTL8139 },
{0x1904, 0x8139, PCI_ANY_ID, PCI_ANY_ID, 0, 0, RTL8139 },
{0x10ec, 0x8138, PCI_ANY_ID, PCI_ANY_ID, 0, 0, RTL8139_CB },
{0x1113, 0x1211, PCI_ANY_ID, PCI_ANY_ID, 0, 0, SMC1211TX },
/* {0x1113, 0x1211, PCI_ANY_ID, PCI_ANY_ID, 0, 0, MPX5030 },*/
{0x1500, 0x1360, PCI_ANY_ID, PCI_ANY_ID, 0, 0, DELTA8139 },
{0x4033, 0x1360, PCI_ANY_ID, PCI_ANY_ID, 0, 0, ADDTRON8139 },
{0x1186, 0x1300, PCI_ANY_ID, PCI_ANY_ID, 0, 0, DFE538TX },
{0x10ec, 0x8129, PCI_ANY_ID, PCI_ANY_ID, 0, 0, RTL8129 },

/* some crazy cards report invalid vendor ids like
* 0x0001 here. The other ids are valid and constant,
* so we simply don't match on the main vendor id.
*/
{PCI_ANY_ID, 0x8139, 0x10ec, 0x8139, 0, 0, RTL8139 },

{0,}


and i also added 0x1904:0x8139 (which is the ethernet card detail) in the file /usr/share/hwdata/pcitable.

After that based on the instruction from the README file of the driver , i run the following commands. But its still shows some error which is shown below

[root@localhost 8139too]# make clean modules

what i have to do now?????????

[mndar]

I have to applaud your Google skills!
I think you have found the solution!
The line
{0x1904, 0x8139, PCI_ANY_ID, PCI_ANY_ID, 0, 0, RTL8139 },
has to be added to the 8139too.c file in the kernel source.
I think
{PCI_ANY_ID, 0x8139, PCI_ANY_ID, PCI_ANY_ID, 0, 0, RTL8139 },
should also work, but I am not sure.

I assume you are using the kernel shipped with FC4. Just confirm it using uname -r
Download the source
http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pu...69_FC4.src.rpm

Install it rpm -ivh kernel-2.6.11-1.1369_FC4.src.rpm
This will create a directory inside /usr/src . Go in that directory. In this, the file to be modified is drivers/net/8139too.c

The instructions for compiling the kernel are
make menuconfig <--confirm that all the device drivers you need are chosen.
make bzImage
make modules
make modules_install
make install

[jaga]

I installed the kernel source by rpm -ivh kernel-2.6.11-1.1369_FC4.src.rpm

After that i went inside the /usr/src/2.6.11-1.1.1369/kernel/drivers/net but there is no file with the name 8139too.c

Did i have to copy the file 8139too.c file from the driver CD that i got with the Ethernet adaptor to the above location ?

If yes, did i have to copy the makefile also to this location?

If no means what i have to do.

Please guide me with exact steps to follow.

[mndar]

I am sorry, I was refering to the vanilla kernel. You need to do one more thing to build the kernel sources
After rpm -ivh kernel-2.6.11-1.1369_FC4.src.rpm
do this
rpmbuild -bp --target=noarch /usr/src/redhat/SPECS/kernel-2.6.spec
If for some reason this gives an error, change --target=noarch to --target=i386 or whichever architecture your system supports. You can find this using uname -a. I think, yours should be i586
After this the kernel source will be /usr/src/redhat/BUILD/kernel-2.6.11/linux-2.6.11
Then follow the steps as given in the previous post

[rajubond_84]

hi,

i am Rajesh kumar from india. i have recently installed fedora core 1 in my computer. i have both winxp and fedora on my comp. i have been looking at the interaction of you two, jaga and mndar. i am also not able access my ethernet card from fedora. i have tried few of the solutions u have suggested like installing it from the "8139too". etc, but as i try to install through the make file i am getting 1000 and odd errors.

my ethernet adapter is rtl8139d, but it is getting recognised as MYSON Technologies ethernet pci adapter. i use a Dynamic ip....... so could you



i am a new user to linux so please keep that in mind before giving any reply.

Rajesh

Hello i finished installing the kernel with all the steps as you told. Its really a very tedious process as it took nearly 3 hours for me.

Now in the partition of 9GB that i alloted for fedora i have only 500Mb remaining.

After installing the kernel, i rebooted my System and now in the GRUB loader iam getting 2 options

Fedora Core(2.6.11-prep) -----> which is the new one

Fedora 4

What i have to do now?
