linux can not detect linksys NIC EG1032 v2


Hi all,
I have a question on the linksys NIC EG1032 v2. When I do a lspci, I got:

02:09:0 Ethnernet controller: Unkown device 1737:1032(rev 12)

When I do modprobe sk98lin, I got:
/lib/modules/2.4.18-14/kernel/drivers/net/sk98lin/sk98lin.o: init_module: No such device

My computer has a dual boot on Windows 2000 and Linux 8. The card works fine in Windows 2000. however Linux could not even detect it.

I have looked at old threads about linksys NIC and have not found anyone had a similar situation. Could someone please help me?

Thanks in advance!

Thanks fiery_ice. Now I installed Linux 9. Kernel version: 2.4.20. I tried to install the driver. However I got an error message says "Linux header files not found. Install Linux header files development package." Does it mean I do not have source file installed? I installed Linux 9 from installation CDs. How may I fix the problem? Thank you so much!

Yes that is correct. You need to install the kernel-source package that corresponds to the 2.4 kernel that you have. The source package you install must have an identical version to the kernel your are using.

thanks!

Thank you very much. Before I install kernel source package, I decided to upgrade it to fedora 4. Fedora core 4 recognize the card right away! Many thanks to your input!
