Hello,

first of all, let me say that I'm a Linux newbie and these are my first steps in the Linux world.
I have an old computer where I installed Fedora core 2 on (it's an old version but its also an old computer and with newer versions I have problems with the BIOS, which is too old and I can't seem to find an update for the BIOS). So I try to make the DFE-530TX to work under Fedora core 2 but I can't succeed in it.
Fedora detects that a network card is present but I can't connect to the internet. Can anyone help me step by step how to install this card, or post a link where it is clearly explained (I repeat: For a Linux newbie).
I tried also to install the Linux drivers but they have to be compiled first which I also don't succeed in, so I actually need a good tutorial or manual on how to install drivers for network card or something similar

Thx in advance

FC2 isnt current any more. to get networking up and running with FC2, it might be easier to buy a network card such as an intel one that is well supported by linux and very cheap to buy second hand.
