Hey I have recently installed a "netgear fa311" network card on RH LINUX 8.0 using the "natsemi dp83815 fast ethernet" driver every thing appears to work ok but when I shut down/start up the computer my screen gets filled several times over with the message: "eth0: pci error 0x800000" I have searched google and I have found plenty of people with a similar problem but with no answer
if anyone here can help I would highly appreciate it

One person suggested downloading a different driver. Heres the link
http://www.scyld.com/pipermail/netdr...ne/000031.html
I have three files on disk and they are drivers for RH7 but I don't know how to install them the files are fa31x.o fa3xx.c fa3xx.h makefile r these any good if so could you please give me help on how to install them
Ok, I think what you need to do, is ftp to this site
ftp://ftp.scyld.com/pub/network/
Grab the file that says netdrives-3.5.tgz
Once its dowloaded, go inot th folder where it is and type this.
tar xzf netdrivers-3.5.tgz.
It should untar it into a new folder, so go into that folder where the new files are now and type this.
./configure
./make
./make install
Hope fully that will get it. I'm not really good a linux so that might be wrong. If that doesn't work just post back here again, and someone who knows it better than me can help you out.
the commands you gave me didn't work it said the files cannot be found also it didn't extract to a new folder I have attached a screenshot of the files it extracted
hmmm..
try tar xzyf
I tried that command and got the following message
"tar: Old option `f' requires an argument."
has anyone got any more ideas
somebody please help
