Hi Dennis the flashed USB drive with the dd worked fine and helped to boot the server detecting the Realtek 8168 however after creating as in your instruction it again fails to detect the Realtek 8168. Can you please explain part
“18. Use Ultraiso to replace image.tgz and add oem.tgz (yes, as of v4 the file isn’t here by default as it was with v3.5)”

Where do I add oem.tgz is it in root of the CD. Is it must as it doesn’t exists by default

Thanks in advance

Hi CK Lee and Adrian
I also have this card and can’t get it to work in 4.1 (I believe 4.0 uses the same driver structure)

Please could you make the driver available?

Cheers
Aubrey

Hello again,

For the lib, it’s not a problem – perl -I is a good friend.

But I checked how you get Server type… and, well, I think it can be done in a smarter way:

Has anyone been successful in creating an iso file that will work with the Realtek NIC? I have tried the steps above, but have been unsuccessful. I guess I don’t know enough about the tools to complete this process. If anyone has an ISO file that I could burn to disc to get my machine working I would really appreciate it.

Hi There,
I’ve tried to use the check_apachestatus_auto.pl Plugin, but it always fails.
The Check is:
./check_apachestatus_auto.pl –hostname “hostname” –url http://”hostname”/server-status?auto
If I tried it with user root and user nagios out of the bash, all works fine.

If i tried to check it via nrpe or online via nagios, I always becomes a failure:

(Service check did not exit properly)

My output in the bash is:
qsargos01:/opt/nagios/libexec # ./check_apachestatus_auto.pl –hostname qsargos01.total.hosting –url http://argos-test.total.hosting/server-status?auto
APACHE OK – 0.028 sec. response time, Busy/Idle 1/74, open 949/1024, ReqPerSec 0.1, BytesPerReq 1289, BytesPerSec 111|Idle=74 Busy=1 OpenSlots=949 Slots=1024 Starting=0 Reading=0 Sending=1 Keepalive=0 DNS=0 Closing=0 Logging=0 Finishing=0 ReqPerSec=0.086761 BytesPerReq=1289 BytesPerSec=111.918873 Accesses=154qsargos01:/opt/nagios/libexec #

It looks like there is a Problem with the output data. Why there is always this line “qsargos01:/opt/nagios/libexec #” directly behind the output?

Thanks in advance

Hi CK Lee can you post the new oem.tgz that you created for DGE-528T, i have the same card and issues?

Thank you

I finally got the DGE-528T to work with ESX3i u4. The card was using a Realtek 8169S but the oem.tgz driver does not have the PCI identifiers for it configured into its pci_tbl list. So I downloaded the open-vdriver project, followed the steps to install a Centos 3.9 environment to compile the r8169 source code and then change the r8169.c code to include the pci id: 1186:4300. Then I changed the oem.tgz file to include my new modified driver and also the simple.map file and now it detects the DGE-528T card.
