Hi Akemi,

I'm not sure this is the correct driver.


[root@intranet ~]#  /sbin/lspci | grep -i net
01:00.0 Network controller: Atheros Communications Inc. AR5008
Wireless Network Adapter (rev 01)
01:01.0 Ethernet controller: D-Link System Inc DGE-528T Gigabit
Ethernet Adapter (rev 10)
01:05.0 Ethernet controller: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd.
RTL-8110SC/8169SC Gigabit Ethernet (rev 10)

[root@intranet ~]# /sbin/lspci -n | grep '01:00.0'
01:00.0 0280: 168c:0023 (rev 01)


Acording to this output, I should see if "168c:0023" exists in
http://elrepo.org/tiki/DeviceIDs, which it doesn't.
