Trying to get this NIC card to work under Oracle's enterprise linux 4 update 5 (OEL). When booting box, linux just says that it can't initialize or bring up the NIC. I have modified the files mentioned in this article - www.linuxcompatible.org/Driver_for_DLink_DGE-530T_Gigabit_PCI_on_FC4_t33856.html Essentially did a manual configure of the driver as eth1. My eth0 on the motherboard works just fine for now. it is the second NIC in PCI slot that i am having trouble with. Thanks

When i issue lspci | grep -i ethernet i get 05:04.0 Ethernet controller: D-Link System Inc DGE-530T Gigabit Ethernet adapter (rev 11) (rev 11) so whatever that is telling me is correct.

From what i can see/know OEL is close to redhat. So should be the same instructions to follow. Not sure that i have the driver installed yet. Not quite sure how. I have tried following jimgolding's post to manually configure the driver i.e. modifying /etc/modprobe.conf and adding /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth1 . If i recall correctly, when i do a lspci then i get the correct card identified when i issue an lsmod | grep sk it finds the sk98lin module. In /var/log/messages, i find that message that says sk98lin device eth1 does not seem to be present, delaying initialization. I have tried modprobe skge followed by service network restart and i have tried modprobe sk98lin followed by service network restart both doesn't seem to work.
