Intel 82566DM-2 driver needed for tahr pup 602

seminonconductor · 11-09-2016, 05:36 AM

Hello
I am having difficulity installing tahr pup 602 on my dell optiplex 755. It a dual core 2ghz, 2gb ram. The standard tahr602 gave me problems with the video card not giving me 1280 resolution, only 1024 so I swapped kernels for later one. Now it hasnt the driver for the ethernet controller, its an intel 82566DM-2 gigabit network connection.
Has anyone the driver and how would I add it.
Thanks

What makes you think the driver is missing. Did you check with

Code:

lspci -k

Does the user manual for your distro help? I personally have no clue what this wizard looks like or what it does. There are too many helper applications to manage connections to start guessing. Even if you set up the connection by hand some superfluous connection manager as NetworkManager can override it.

There are problems it seems with this resolution using tahr and this card so I have given up but thanks for all the help,
