6.5
Delete existing network driver and quickly install the new driver under temp
directory

For anyone who is interested, I was able
to get the Realtek card
(RTL8139c) working in Vista under
Xen. I'm using Xen Express Server as my OS (which I think runs a version
of FC?).
I used the Server 2003 driver trick,
here is the process step by step.
1. Download latest Vista driver
for the RTL8139 series cards from the Realtek site. There is one dated
4/26/07, I used this file.
2. Install the files, follow
setup.
3. Copy C:\Program
Files\Realtek\VISTA_8139\WINVISTA\NetrtOEM.inf to a folder called 'Temp' on
your Vista desktop.
4. Find a Server 2003 machine,
copy C:\Windows\system32\drivers \rtl8139.sys (I burned a CD) to the same Temp
folder on your Vista desktop.
5. Rename rtl8139.sys to
rtnicxp.sys
6. Open Device Manager, Click
Update Driver.
7. Browse my computer for drive
software 8. Let me pick from a list of drivers on my computer <---
This is key.
9. Click Have Disk, and navigate
to the NetrtOEM.inf in the temp folder on your desktop 10. If you get an
error about the driver not being digitally signed, that's good, you are
installing the right driver.
The drive date still will say 1/26/2007
(in my case), but now you will be able to pull down an IP and communicate like
normal.
Cheers,
Ian Fitzpatrick
