Fedora Core 5 can't bring up D-link DFE-528TX

[maldini8289]

Hello all,

I need help on this. I have installed Fedora Core 5 and tried to bring up the eth0 interface but it seems that it will hang the system. My network card is D-Link DFE-528TX. I have tried to search for linux driver for this card but can't find it. Thanks a lot.

Hi all,

Can anyone please help me on this problem. Is it because of my Netgear router DG834G that causing the DHCP problem. I just can't bring up my network interface. It will hang up the whole fedora. Please help

hi maldini,

reboot your machine and make sure that this NIC is not enabled on boot. using a gui for fedora core, does the card show up as being recognized by the system. is so, what card is it listed as? what module (driver) is it using? does the proper module exist for your NIC in the list?

where are you? this nic is not marked in the U.S., so you'll have to go to your country's website to download the driver. it should be in a .zip folder which is easily decompressed (unzip file.zip). There should be a 'LINUX' directory created. According to the files, the compilation command is included at the end of the driver file. If you look in the HELP directory also created, there is a LINUX.TXT file which should help.

If you do a search for this NIC, there are also open-source drivers which you can also give a try.
