search for: rtl8100

Hi, I have a compaq V2000 laptop. Specs for network say its a realtek 8139/8139C+ NIC. Other distros (namely suse) said there was no problem with this was detected and worked.

I haven't had this happen for *years* when installing on new hardware. Biostar's documentation (*and* their tech-support!) states that this M/B has an RTL8100 on-board. However, once I installed CentOS from DVD, 'lspci -v' revealed: 02:05.0 Ethernet controller: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd.
