I recently built a computer with the Asus Striker Extreme using a Intel 6600 duo core processor, 2 GB Ram, 350 GB HDD and an NVIDIA 7600 Graphics card. I installed Suse 10.2 on the computer and was unable to get the MCP55 network adapters to function. The YAST2 network device manager recognizes and configures them, but if I configure them with DHCP they don't pull an address and if I configure them manually they don't talk to the network. I finally got around it by installing an older 3com 3c905b network adapter which works perfectly. I'm dual booting with Windows Vista and it won't recognize the 3com card! I'm getting fairly comfortable with Suse linux but I don't consider myself an expert in any sense of the word.
I tried to download the drivers for the Asus mcp55 network adapters from Asus and it still doesn't seem to work.

Anybody able to help me with this?

Thanks

So can't you disable the PCI NIC under windows and use the onboard one? Or has Vista dropped the device manager?

Try to add this line on your modprobe.conf:

options forcedeth msi=0 msix=0

then unload and reload the driver
(rmmod forcedeth, modprobe forcedeth)
