Hey,

I'm looking for the LAN driver for a Gigabyt GA-7N400. I think it is the Realtek 8139 chip.

Anyone know where I can find it?

Kind Regards,

Realtek 8139 chipsets should be supported by default.
What are the outputs of lspci and uname -a?

lspci - command not found

uname -a - 2.6.18-53.e15 {date} i686 athlon i386

I thought that the 8139 was built into the kernal aswell. However even though my switch is detecting the hardware connection, there is no active connection (orange light on the switch instead of green).

Can you try
/sbin/lspci?

The orange light could mean that the card supports only 10 MBit/s instead of 100.

What's the output of ifconfig? Are you sure the network connection isn't working?
