Problem: NVIDIA nForce nvnet ethernet driver
Hi,
I have an ABIT NF7 motherboard with onboard NVIDIA nForce2 chipset. I downloaded driver rpms from their website. fedora sees the ethernet controller, but fails at bootup and manual startup. Below is some info I scraped together. Looks to me like the report from modprobe may be the problem. Everything else seems to work... Any clues how to correct the kernel-module version mismatch? I did a build of the source as described on the nVisia website which seemed to compile fine. Installing that rpm by running rpmbuild --rebuild nforce{package name}-1.0-1.src.rpm gives me a "newer version already installed" message. Anybody else run into this probem? Command failed: /sbin/modprobe nvnet Output: /lib/modules/2.4.22-1.2115.nptl/kernel/drivers/net/nvnet.o: kernel-module version mismatch /lib/modules/2.4.22-1.2115.nptl/kernel/drivers/net/nvnet.o was compiled for kernel version 2.4.20-6 while this kernel is version 2.4.22-1.2115.nptl. /lib/modules/2.4.22-1.2115.nptl/kernel/drivers/net/nvnet.o: insmod /lib/modules/2.4.22-1.2115.nptl/kernel/drivers/net/nvnet.o failed /lib/modules/2.4.22-1.2115.nptl/kernel/drivers/net/nvnet.o: insmod nvnet failed from lspci -v 00:04.0 Ethernet controller: nVidia Corporation nForce2 Ethernet Controller (rev a1) Subsystem: ABIT Computer Corp.: Unknown device 1c02 Flags: bus master, 66Mhz, fast devsel, latency 0, IRQ 11 Memory at e7000000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=4K] I/O ports at d000 [size=8] Capabilities: <available only to root> my modprobe.conf: include /etc/modprobe.conf.dist alias usb-controller usb-ohci alias usb-controller1 ehci-hcd alias sound-slot-0 i810_audio alias eth0 nvnet alias ieee1394-controller ohci1394 alias sound-slot-1 nvaudio install sound-slot-0 /sbin/modprobe --ignore-install sound-slot-0 && { /bin/aumix-minimal -f /etc/.aumixrc -L >/dev/null 2>&1 || :; } remove sound-slot-0 { /bin/aumix-minimal -f /etc/.aumixrc -S >/dev/null 2>&1 || :; } ; /sbin/modprobe -r --ignore-remove sound-slot-0 thanks, Peff |
Here's what I ~just~ did to get this working.
Grab the tar file version, compile, install. Then, double check modconf. Reboot. That should do you. |
i face the same problem b4. it said the kernel was mismatch while installing ethernet driver. After i change the kernel, everything work find.

Yes, this worked fine. Only bit of advice to others is to make sure the compiled driver is properly copied into your driver directory--mine wasn't.
Thanks, Lopoetve |
yep. No problem :)

try using the "forcedeth" driver instead, it's fully open source and lovely.
