No. Full install over top of windows. MS long gone.

Yes, the 8167 device was not known at the time of 10.1. Check your /usr/share/pci.ids file, and you'll see that it's missing. Upgrading pciutils should help you, although you may need a kernel update too. /Per Jessen, Zürich -- http://www.spamchek.com/ - your spam is our business. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Hmmm. So, if I update that file, then Yast should be able to offer it as a network device to be configured? But possibly I may need a kernel upgrade if one of the other drivers (e.g. r8169) can handle it? I note that in hwinfo --netcard, my 3c905 has a hardware address, but the Realtek does not. What does that tell me about things? Thanks for the replies.

Just try it. It only takes a few seconds for it to download the latest pciids file. If it only needs the pci id info, it may work. If not, you have the latest pciids file. That cannot hurt. It may or may not help. I would try it and just see.

I assume you mean if one of the other drivers cannot handle it. If that is the case, you will soon find out.
I note that in hwinfo --netcard, my 3c905 has a hardware address, but the Realtek does not. What does that tell me about things?
Do you mean a MAC address? If it does not have a MAC address, it means the card is probably bad. I have only seen that once before after a lightning strike near the server. Took out the cable modem and zeroed the MAC address of the card (but I guess though all zeros it still had something). -- Joe Morris Registered Linux user 231871 running openSUSE 10.2 x86_64 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Done. But Yast still doesn't show the device (Network Devices, Network Card)

Yeah, I think I mean MAC address. For instance, hwinfo --netcard shows my 3com as HW Address: 00:60:08:ce:a7:05 and amusingly enough, I have the file /etc/sysconfig/network/ifcfg-eth-id-00:60:08:ce:a7:05 But hwinfo --netcard does not show an HW Address: line for the Realtek device. Yes, I made sure the thing was enabled in the BIOS. Bummer of a device? Bummer of a motherboard? Anything I can (easily) do about it? Thanks.

and amusingly enough, I have the file
/etc/sysconfig/network/ifcfg-eth-id-00:60:08:ce:a7:05
What ver of SUSE are you running again? I run 10.3 and my ifcfg files are /etc/sysconfig/network/ifcfg-eth0 /etc/sysconfig/network/ifcfg-eth1
But hwinfo --netcard does not show an HW Address: line for the Realtek device.
Yes, I made sure the thing was enabled in the BIOS.

I still think that you don't have the driver. Some RealTeks are a real pain to get working sometimes. First thing's first. Have you gone over to the realtek.tw or your m/b vendors site and looked for a a utility that can test your nic? they usually make a utility you can run from a bootable floppy that you run which will give you h/w info and sometimes even test the nic for you. Determine that it's working. Also look for the chip revision version if that utility displays it. Once you have the info, you might also want to check out our bretheren over at Fedora or Ubuntu and see if they got something useful to say. The last time I got my Realtek nic working, it was thanks to posts on the Ubuntu forums. -- cheers, dg <a href="http://opensuse.org"><img style="border: 0px solid ; width: 80px; height: 15px;" alt="openSUSE.org" title="openSUSE.org" src="http://files.opensuse.org/opensuse/en/6/6e/Suselinux-green.png" /></a> -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
The latest kernel is known to break some realtek devices. If all else fails you should try ndiswrapper. I tried for a week to get my rt73usb working without result. Ndiswrapper was the only working solution. On Mon, 2007-10-08 at 22:05 -0400, Michael Fischer wrote:
