Red Hat Linux 7.2: Network Configuration

[AndySimpson]

Network newbie question follows... :)

I currently have a machine running Red Hat Linux 7.2. I'd like to get this machine on our company network, but am having difficulty configuring the network card.

KDE's network configuration tool currently lists my network card as:

Realtek RTL8139, SMC EZ Card Fast Ethernet

IRQ : unknown
MEM, IO, IO1, IO2, DMA0, DMA1 fields are blank

Can anyone tell me where I might find the necessary information to fill the above fields?

Thanks in advance for any assistance.

I have an RTL-8029 on my current box and no trouble with hardware resources; nobody ever asked me any number and it is already configured, the kernel just finds out the IRQ and such.

You can find out if the card is being correctly identified via the command 'lspci', it should show a line like

01:09.0 Ethernet controller: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. RTL-8029(AS)

It is somewhat probable that the card is just loose at the PCI port.

If the kernel module is correctly loaded, you can try using netcfg to setup the card; I use etherconf but it is for Debian.

By the way, that URL posting is evil, nuke it.
