Pb with network on motherboard Abit NF7

palamaman · 10-22-2004, 04:51 AM

Hello,
I have a mother board Abit NF7 but I can't use the integrated ethernet card.
Ifconfig say that only 'lo' exist, there are not eth0.
But the Mandrake control center say that there are nForce2 MCP Networking Adapter.

Sorry fo my english, I hope you understand the problem.

Bye

In a command line window, type lspci & lspci -n

This will give you the name of the card and it's id numbers

The name database is at http://pciids.sourceforge.net
If it isn't in the database, you can use the generic NE2000 driver ne2k-pci to get it started.
Do modprobe ne2k-pci and then dmesg to check if it registers your NIC

Search Google for the id number if it still doesn't work..

Hy,
I have the same mb as you, but on Fedora 2 have no problem with it.

Cool..

Please do lsmod in a command line and we can see which NIC module you are using..
