I replaced with a D-Link DGE-530T NIC and Xenserver installed as ok. Thanks Hi Alessandro

I am actually surprised that XenServer 4.1 still lacks support for this NIC. Anyway, the prodedure should not change that much, but a different kernel module compiled for the kernel shipped with XerServer 4.1 is needed. You should ask about it in the XenServer support forum. Let me know if you have any luck. ;) I did not test this procedure on XenServer 4.1, and I will probably not do it since I am working on something else right now.

I have installed a generic PCI LAN card with the realtek 3189 chipset, but install if failing saying no NIC card installed. will the process detailed here likely work for this card ? thanks David Thomas www.thinworld.net www.snaggings.co.uk Hi,

In general unknown symbols errors are reported when a module has been compiled on a different kernel version. Are you using XenServer 4.0.1? This is the only version I tried and I did not experience those problems. Honestly I do not know what the problem can be.
