This is a new card to me as it is very old! ClearOS detects the card but does not have the drivers for it. RedHat, so Centos and ClearOS pruned back the drivers they shipped with EL7, removing what they considered to be old ones. It looks like it needs the ne2k-pci driver and it is one they removed. Fortunately ElRepo have released a bunch of drivers which were removed from EL7. They have to be compiled against the ClearOS kernel which is trivial when you're used to it. I've compiled the driver for you here. Give it a whirl. When you do an "lspck -k" it should give a "driver in use" if it is OK.

Here is the output.
00:19.0 Ethernet controller: Intel Corporation 82566DM-2 Gigabit Network Connection (rev 02)
Subsystem: Dell OptiPlex 755
Kernel driver in use: e1000e
00:1a.0 USB controller: Intel Corporation 82801I (ICH9 Family) USB UHCI Controller #4 (rev 02)
--
03:02.0 Ethernet controller: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. RTL-8029(AS)
Subsystem: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. RTL-8029(AS)
It seems that the network card is detected but why i can't use it?
regards and thanks for the response. -

Do yourself a favour and buy a better card such as a (PCI) RTLR8169 based 1000Mb/s card for only a few dollars... - of if you have PCI express buy RTL8168/8111 based and add the required driver depending on the card
Have an RTL8029AS here in the junk box - built in 1997 - 20 years ago!
it does - from the RJ45 connector 10Mb/s full duplex with the wind behind ie it's slow :-)
and an Attachment Unit Interface (AUI) which is 10Mb/s half duplex over coax
and contention ethernet CSMA/CD protocol - even slower :-(
Naturally you cannot use both connections at once...
If you want a spare 8029AS - knock on my door - it's yours for free...

Thanks a lot. It's working good now. -

Hello how are you? I am new using clearos, I am installing clearos ver. 7 but it does not detect any network card.
The motherboard is a BTGL8180029Y AAE33912-200.
- Realtek semiconductor co. Pc2 Ltd. RTL-8139 / 8139c / 8139c +
- Intel corporation Pro / 100 Ve Network connection
- Sundance Tecnology Inc / Ic Plus Corp. Ic Plus IP100A Integrated 10/100 ethernet. -

The Intel Pro/100 Ve needs the e100 driver which was removed from the kernel by RedHat. I have a copy of the kmod-e100 driver here. Similarly the sundance driver was removed by RedHad but there is not a kmod version I can compile.
The RTL8139 will take either the 8139cp or 8139too driver and both are included in the kernel so should install OK.
I can trace the AAE33912-200 bit of your M/B but not the BTGL8180029Y bit. Can you provide any links?
If you can install ClearOS 6.x it should have all the missing drivers.
For a 7.x installation, I've no idea why the RTL8139 card is not being detected. Faulty? You can try installing the e100 driver during the installation. Have a look at this thread but I don't think we were successful. If you can find any working NIC to complete the installation, you can then install missing drivers such as the e100 driver later it you find them. -
