realtek rtl8139d ethernet card

[ahmedmax]

I have a problem with the realtek rtl8139d lan card

it seems that the driver came with it is for kernel 2.4 but I have 2.6

I tried to install ndiswrapper everything is ok when i typed ndiswrapper -l but when i typed modprobe ndiswrapper it made the following problem

[root WarpPower ndiswrapper-1.2]# modprobe ndiswrapper
FATAL: Error inserting ndiswrapper
(/lib/modules/2.6.11-1.1369_FC4smp/misc/ndiswrapper.ko): Invalid module
format

I have the FC4
so can anyone help me??

Did I understand You right, that when Your are talking about rtl8139d, You are talking about an ethernet-LAN-card? One into which You can plug an ethernet-cable? And that You are using the FedoraCore-kernel together with Gentoo?

If yes, You have to

• install the gentoo-kernel-sources with

  Code:

  # emerge gentoo-sources

  
  
• place the .config file of Your running kernel into /usr/src/linux/ (possibly with

  Code:

  # zcat /proc/config.gz > /usr/src/linux/.config

  
  
• recompile Your kernel with

  Code:

  # cd /usr/src/linux # make oldconfig # make menuconfig

  enable

  Code:

  Network device support  --->     Ethernet (10 or 100 Mbit) --->         [M]   RealTek RTL-8139 PCI Fast Ethernet Adapter support         [M]   RealTek RTL-8139 C+ PCI Fast Ethernet Adapter support

  finally

  Code:

  # make && make modules_install

  
  
• install the new Kernel in Your bootloader (grub/lilo)
  
• add

  Code:

  rtl8139

  to /etc/modules.autoload.d/kernel-2.6
  
• run

  Code:

  # rc-update add net.eth0 boot

  
  
• reboot
  
• check via

  Code:

  # lsmod | grep rtl8139 # ifconfig eth0

  that card is working
  
• forget about ndiswrapper as fast as possible, for this is to use the Win-driver for WLAN-cards
