Internet is not working in RHEL5
Hi,
I installed RHEL 5 in my PC, already windows XP is running in my system. I am not able to connect to internet from Linux, but internet is working in windows XP.
I got the below out put for lspci -vv command for ethernet controller

when i restart network i got the below eror.
[[email protected] init.d]# ./network restart
Shutting down loopback interface: [ OK ]
Bringing up loopback interface: [ OK ]
Bringing up interface eth0: 3c501 device eth0 does not seem to be present, delaying initialization.
[FAILED]
[[email protected] init.d]#
Can any one please help me to sort out this issue. Please let me know if any more information required.
Thanks in advance.

I think the linux kernel can support Rtl 8101 lan card.
And maybe,you should recompile the linux kernel.
Try this:
check to see if you have a configuration file for your interface (with the assumption that eth0 is your interface):
/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0
create a backup copy of the file to your home folder
edit the original file to look like this:
DEVICE=eth0
BOOTPROTO=dhcp
ONBOOT=yes
after you save the changes run:
"ifup eth0"
I hope this helps.
The kernel is telling you that it doesn't recognize the card.
It will not load a module and therefore you've got no device.
And that's what the network restart command is reporting.
Google says that the realtek card has its own source package
that needs to be compiled manually. It will provide the r8169
kernel module, which should be able to load fine in a general
purpose kernel.
Depending on the distro you're using somebody might have done
the compile for you and you can download it as a package!
Otherwise download the source code, untar, run make in the
created directory and modprobe -r the created module (if no
errors...)
Good luck!
