Brent please test this with our latest builds.

Looking at the pcitable, it's in there...

Comment 5 Markus 2001-08-27 21:42:29 UTC

Comment 6 Markus 2001-08-27 21:52:56 UTC

hmm, please ignore my last posting. now it seems to work with the
standardkernel, but i cant test it this week. maybe kudzu made this possible...

Comment 7 Jeremy Katz 2001-08-28 01:32:32 UTC

Are you sure it's not working with the current beta using the bootnet.img?  This
works for me (although with a slightly different card)

Comment 8 Markus 2001-08-28 16:48:21 UTC

sorry, what is the bootnet.img? i made the absolutely standard installation of
7.1.94. (always yes-clickin': 800x600, laptop-installation,...). what's maybe
interesting: i searched for "Realtek" in /etc after installation. i found it in
/etc/sysconfig/hwconf. but the driver was "unknown" or something like that. in
anaconda, there came no configuration of my network-card. i compiled a new
kernel with this driver and after rebooting, kudzu found it and everything works
fine...

Comment 9 Jeremy Katz 2001-08-28 21:38:57 UTC

Was this a network or a CDROM based install?

Comment 10 Markus 2001-08-28 22:21:56 UTC

CDROM

Comment 11 Jeremy Katz 2001-09-06 00:01:08 UTC

Hmm...  works there for me as well.  Can you try again and on tty2, run (without
the backticks)
`python -c "import kudzu; print kudzu.probe(kudzu.CLASS_NETWORK,
kudzu.BUS_UNSPEC, 0)`

and see if it detects the card?  You don't need to do a full install, just
starting the installer should be enough.

Any more info here?
