Question

Need RealTek PHY RTL8201CL Driver for RedHat v7.x

Asked by: isltt

Hi,

I have a K8NF4G-SATA2 with a RealTek PHY RTL8201CL Network Card. Also on this machine I have two(2) 3C905CX-TM network cards which were successfully detected by the install. I tried to use the 8139too driver but the load was unsuccessful with the following error messages

/lib/modules/2.4.20-28.7/kernel/drivers/net/8139too.o: unresolved symbol mii_link_ok_R563eadc6

Realtek PHY 8201CL

 

by: pablouruguayPosted on 2006-11-22 at 08:31:37ID: 17996844

you can choose 2 thinks.

1. upgrade the system. but in your case, this option is complex because is a part of a system. (are you sure is the last version of viator??)

2. buy 2 generic cards i recommend old card type realtek 8139. or ne2000 to do this.
