BUT you will seldom need to download drivers for hardware, most things will come inside the kernel already.

I installed ethernet card after installing the linux. And when I probe or use kudzu its not detecting it.
If I reinstall the linux or repair the linux will it detect the ethernet card automatically.

Similar to your first post on this subject, you still didn't provide a lot of information. What brand/model/chipset ethernet card? What Linux distribution/version are you using?

We are not clairvoyant.
