I tried it, still no luck. I think main issue is NIC is not detected properly. Bcoz if the NIC is active there are 2 indicators on NIC those should active and LAN light on the router should lit despite the default gateways, IPs and stuff.
yes i think you are correct. what is your NIC?henderson said:I tried it, still no luck. I think main issue is NIC is not detected properly. Bcoz if the NIC is active there are 2 indicators on NIC those should active and LAN light on the router should lit despite the default gateways, IPs and stuff.

after some googling i came accros this page please take a look at it. some guy/girl managed to get it to work in suse(where it didn't work out of the box)henderson said:RealTek RTL8139/810x Family Fast Ethernet NIC
thats how it displays on device manager
Distribution: SuSE 10.1, Fedora6, Slackware 11, Ubuntu 6.06.1
r1000 was only supported by Ubuntu from the distros I tried (mentioned above).
(By the way, thought windows says RTL8139/R810x, it is most likely not an RTL8139, or it would use the RTL8139 specific driver, and linux detects that well.)
I downloaded the latest source for the R1000 drivers from Realtek, which required some editing before getting to work, here is how:
These are the steps I followed for r1000 v1.04
I copied the r1000 files into /root/r1000
such that I had /root/r1000/src/..... files
and /root/r1000/Makefile
I edited /root/src/Makefile_linux26x
and changed
include $(PWD)/src/Makefile_linux26x
to
include /root/r1000/src/Makefile_linux26x
then I edited /root/r1000/src/r1000_n.c (thanks to dotato)
and changed the 3 lines startting with MODULE_PARM to MODULE_PARM_DESC
as root I wrote
make clean modules
make install
depmod -a (no idea what it does but it was in the readme)
then I ran r1000.
Started up SuSE's YaST, went to 'view hardware'
Closed it.
Opened up Netword Devices (still in YaST) and there was my NIC ready for configuration!!!
Joy oh joy!
It finally works.
Once you get the driver installed, it works well, Don't know why r1000 was not included with any of those Distros except Ubuntu
henderson said:there was some issues,
first one is there was no such directory called /root/src/
second one is there was no such command named 'make'
I think these are not available in live cd

i had Intel 537 modem and successed in many linux destros;just downloaded and compiled driver and configured wvdial to dial and ....heshan123 said:huh? modem drivers in your driver CD? thats very rare. When did u buy ur modem machan? Whats the brand?
yeah cool it has good linux supoort HCF also;there was a driver called linmodem or something with good results;i've used this modem for dial-in server in mandrake 9 and had great successICE said:some old 1 mate. conexant soft 56k HSF
no machan RTL8139 is good 100Mbps card and RTL 8029 is 10Mbps i have used many of them and it's card that usually shipped with any old pc and yet sohenderson said:I have a problem with Suse 10.3, i tried to boot this from the live CD, I use a router and its working properly. My NIC is Realtek RTL8139/810X onboard LAN, and the LEDs on that card does not lit when I boot from Suse, while it lits when I boot from XP. means my Ethernet card is the culprit. Can you give me some advice on this matter to setup my stupid Ethernet card.

ICE said:hmm i dont see a default GW :S
here's the probhenderson said:still it should indicate ethernet card is active or not, adsl router and NIC indicators are not indicating ethernet card is not active. No point of setting default GW if your card is not active
so its a bit tricky situation that you have over there.machan ASFAIK apt-get is debian (and debian biased distro) specific. so its not there in suse. he will have to use rpm to install the stuff and not apt.ICE said:install 'make' then
