I have the AMD64 on a Gigabyte motherboard with built in Realtek 8169. I had RedHat 9
installed and it worked fine. When I stalled Fedora Core 1, the rtl8169 was
still listed as the hardware device in the network configuration tool, but it
was inactive and would not activate. I decided to delete it and re-add it. When
I tried to add it I found out that the 8169 was not in the hardware device
list. The Fedora HCL refers to the RedHat
9 HCL. The RTL8169 is listed in the RedHat 9 HCL. Why is it not available in
the Fedora Core distribution? Do I
have to recompile the Fedora kernel to add it in? |
