Realtek GigaBit Ethernet not working
Hi All
I have fresh installation of Fedora Core 6 but my networkcard was not recognized by system.
I have RealTek 8168/1100 Gigabit Ethernet card on my Asus laptop. Could You recommend me some useful tips, how to install and activate this NIC !? I have downloaded the driver from manufacturer's web but having problem with installation. Please note I'm a "freshman" to the Linux  
Many thanx
Johny

i have plenty of 8169 pci cards, i guess the 8168 is the mini-pci for laptops?
anyway it should work out of the box, i do know that certain vendors (dlink for example) cards that use the 8169 only started working after kernel 2.6.10 as the id string for the cards was added to the driver, so the output of "lspci -v" could be useful.

a quick google and it looks like this needs the r1000 driver, which is not in kernel 2.6.18, so try updating to 2.6.19 using "yum update kernel"

get the latest kernel, the kernel-headers and the kernel packages. You'll want i686, not i586.
