asus built in NIC
 

Need some help with NIC drivers and im somewhat of a newb when it comes to linux. I have a ASUS P5AD2-E Premium
with fedora core4
the drivers are the marvell yukon from the mobo's CD i tryed to install the install.sh and had an error kernel source no source files, fixed that by installing the

kernel-2.6.11-1.1369_FC4.src.rpm

now i get futher but then error out and get this in my log file

i honestly dont know where im going wrong with this one
and its driving me nuts because i have no NIC so i cant use YUM or up2date
also if im missing something can you send a link or explain how to install what im missing

thanks in advance,
Dom

You might be better asking this in the Fedora forum (under Distros).
I'd be of the opinion that the Yukon should be supported natively at 2.6.11

I used to have to load the sk98lin driver for my Yukon, but now it's a kernel option. Even if you have to run it at 10/100 for a while, at least it gets you going. Sorry, but I no longer have any systems at 2.6.11, so I can't check for you when it changed.

This driver is in the kernel source (2.6.13, and maybe before...)

If you have a stock Fedora kernel, just try:
# modprobe skge

well i did what you said modprobe skge also modprobe sk98lin and both came up as not found
not sure where to go from there

Looks like you may have to build yourself a custom kernel...
Else you can install a newer kernel RPM. As I said, it is in the kernel source as of 2.6.13
I am not sure of 2.6.12

Pays never to throw anything out .... :)

Found a couple of old configs on my Gentoo desktop - 2.6.11 has both skge and sk98lin as kernel options.
If you have the config available under FC (dunno, never used it), try the following commandsAs bulliver said, you might be up for a kernel compile depending on the results.

This is what's confusing me...I thought that canned kernels distributed by your distro always had _all_ drivers built as modules, and used hardware detection to decide which ones to load up...

Are you using the stock fedora kernel Rammstein666?

i have FC4 2.6.11-1.1369 then downloaded the kernel-2.6.11-1.1369_FC4.src.rpm

then did a rpm -ivh kernel-2.6.11-1.1369_FC4.src.rpm
went in 100%
then did a rpmbuild -bp --target=noarch
/usr/src/redhat/SPECS/kernel-2.6.spec

then moved /kernel-2.6.11 from the /BUILD/ foldier to /usr/src/linux-2.6.11
and made a link from that called linux

am i on the right path or not?
