    before that make sure you login as root.

    After download complete,


    just write the following command on your terminal:
    [root@localhost ~]# cd Desktop (i put the file on Desktop)
    [root@localhost Desktop]# tar xvvf r8101-1.001.00.tar.bz2
    .
    .
    [root@localhost Desktop]# cd r8101-1.001.00
    [root@localhost r8101-1.001.00]# make clean modules
    .
    .
    .
    [root@localhost r8101-1.001.00]# make install
    .
    .
    [root@localhost r8101-1.001.00]# depmod -a
    [root@localhost r8101-1.001.00]# insmod ./src/r8101.ko
    [root@localhost r8101-1.001.00]# lsmod | grep r8101
    r8101 28688 0 <—if this appear, then you’ve installed the driver
    successfully:)
    Then check if your ip have configured correctly or not
    [root@localhost r8101-1.001.00]# ifconfig -a

    Since you can see the ethX which X is 0,1,2,3 (mine is eth0)….
    instead of just lo and sit0, then its working now. NIC driver has
    been installed successfully.
    Finally, on your terminal type:
    [root@localhost ~]# system-config-network

    You can see on hardware tab there are Realtek Semiconductor with
    status ok. Then, move to Devices tab, and click New > Ethernet
    connection > Forward > Choose REaltek Semiconductor…. > Forward
    > then up to you whether want to set DHCP or set static IP.
    Now you can open Firefox or Konqueror and start browsing internet
    happily:)
    [p/s] If check again on your terminal with ifconfig -a it should
    return your local ip address under the eth0 which is 192.168.1.* ; *
    is 2-255
