A server with RedHat Enterprise Linux 5 AS2 installed. After all components are installed, the NIC is not recognized by the system. Manually install the driver.

The server is Lenovo's Wan Quan R520 G7. Here, BS Lenovo, Customer Service told me that only the Redhat 5.3 driver is available, and the driver downloaded from Lenovo's official website is an empty self-decompressed package.

Find the network card model 82574L and go to the Intel official website to find the driver installation package for linux.

Decompress and compile all the way to make; make insall succeeded;

Release the driver in the "/lib/modules/[KERNEL_VERSION]/kernel/drivers/net/" directory;

Go to the preceding directory, enter./e1000/, run the insmod e1000.ko command to load the driver;

Run the lsmod | grep e1000 command to check whether the file is successfully loaded. If any problem occurs, check the README file in the driver installation package;

Run the ifconfig-a command to view the NIC to be driven;

Then you can use the ifconfig command to configure the IP address of the NIC.
