See my mobo NIC module


Just a question.
How can i see what module i should use for my motherboard built-in network card? I'm using an A7N8X-E Deluxe. I tried to use google, but it not gave me any elucidative results.
Thnx in advance.

Boot using a live CD like Knoppix and see what module is used.

Knoppix will do an automatic hardware configuration, so if the card is found and works then you should be good to go with any other up-to-date distro (most modern distros should auto-detect and install the correct module anyway).

Try running lshwd, to see if it detects it.

You can also check your documentation to see if your chipset is supported:
/usr/src/linux/Documentation
