RTL8211CL DRIVER
Ben:
Hello
I recently had to upgrade my motherboard and it came with a built-in LAN that uses the RTL8211CL chipset, however, I have not been able to find a driver for it.
Does anyone know of a driver that works with that chip and where I can get it?
Thanks
Doug Bissett:
That is difficult to answer, when we don't know the PCI ID of the device. It should be something like 10EC:8168. You can find that information by running PCI.EXE. I would expect that the Multimac MMRE driver should support it. If not, post the information at the Arca Noae MANTIS site (I assume that you have a subscription), and ask for support.
I would suggest that it is always prudent to check the specs, before you purchase, and be sure that you know what will, and won't, be supported.

Hi Ben
It can also be great if you can share your PCI.exe report and your new mainboard brand and model so I can include it on the OS2World wiki mainboards list.
Regards.

Thanks for replying Doug. I am using eCS 2.2 b2(?). ArcNoa is too big an investment at $150US, (nearly $200 Canadian).
It isn't a new motherboard, rather one that I came upon years back that was a convenient replacement.
PCI.exe does not yield any information on the device other than to say that it is an RTL chip. Perhaps that program is too old or is using an old database.

Okay, that probably means that the devices is supported, but we need to know what the PCI ID is.

It should tell you what the ID is. Post that section of the output. It may also help, if we knew what the motherboard is.
