Since i'm newbie to linux....
Can somebody help me..how to install the driver ??

Here is another question, do sme server automatically detect plug n play devices....?

The quick answer: That NIC isn't supported by default by CentOS, or Redhat, so you'll need to install the drivers manually, which involves quite a lot of work which SME isn't capable of, without installing extra software.

The better way: Get a new NIC :)

Search for Realtek & D-Link on this forum, and you'll see some posts on it
