Subject: [9fans] RTL8139 not detected during install
Date: Tue, 24 Sep 2002 03:16:38 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20020924071638.GC637@opiate.thirteenandtwo.org> (raw)

Well, to my great delight the fourth edition of Plan 9 supports some of
the NVIDIA cards I have, so I set forth to get it installed on a machine
I have lying around.

Everything is just dandy (following the wiki installation instructions)
until I hit the confignet task, at which point "No ethernet card was
detected...". Meanwhile, there is a Realtek 8139 (PCI) in the box.

The Wiki notes for supported hardware mention this:

"# RealTek 8139 Ethernet controller; usually bundled into low-end
systems. (not detected on some (read: my) systems)"

Now, I suppose I could go find a cheap Netgear or so (can't be more than
$10 CAD I guess), but I was just wondering if there is a way to get the
Realtek detected or found.

My apologies if this has been answered in the archives, I can't seem to
get to https://lists.cse.psu.edu/ right now.

Thanks.
