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
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.
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
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 commands
As 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?
