It was one year back, I have installed rhel5 on my intel desktop. Everything was fine except the lan card. The installation of driver for the realtek 81101 onboard NIC was always a headache for me . Lot of time i have tried and failed miserably. And at last i gave up and decided to add one extra nic.

And last week , while i was browsing on net , i have seen a topic on a forum reagarding this issue . So i searched on google and read some articles, froums and so on. After reading these i have decided to try to insatalll the driver for realtek 81101 again. This is time it was very easy to install the driver. I got the correct package and the installtion finished with in 5 minute.

The steps are:

1). Identify your network card..

lspci | grep Ethernet ( Run as root)

01:00.0 Ethernet controller: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. RTL8101E PCI Express Fast Ethernet controller (rev 01)

2) Downlload the driver from intel website.

What is it?….

Mylyn is a simple eclipse plugin that helps you to manage your bugzilla bugs with in the eclispe platform. In other words you don’t need to use your email any more to get bugzilla bugs.

The main advantage of Mylyn is you don’t need to install any additional software or plugin to use it. By default eclipse comes with Mylyn

Then select the two components Task List and Task Repositories and click OK.

Hi friends yesterday i was trying to install my hp laser jet 1505n printer in my Centos box. By default Centos does not provide the driver for this model. So i had to download and install the driver package from http://www.fileqube.com/shared/xAzwarSjS1495483

To install i followed these steps:

$ tar zxf hpinlinux.tar.gz

$ cd hpinlinux

$ make

$ sudo make install

$ sudo make install-hotplug

$  sudo make cups

After Successful installation i tried to configure my printer in the usual way( System –> Administration –> Printing) . But i failed to find the driver for my printer. After searching sometime in the google i found an interesting and easy way to configure and manage the printer through the web browser.

To do that just point your browser to http://localhost:631. It will give you a very simple but powerful and informative window to configure and mange your printer. By using this window you can do all things related to your printer. You can add, delete , edit , view printer history , view the print queue and so on.
