NN68-VS3 FX motherboard intergrated networking failed
Dual boot - Mageia3 64 bit/windows 7
AsRock NS3-VS3 FX
intergrated Realtek PHY RTL8201EL ( Listed as NVIDIA coporation MCP61 Ethernet in linux Mageia)
I have a N68-VS3 FX motherboard which for networking features an intergrated Realtek PHY RTL8201EL .I'd been using this motherboard for a while using various linux based operating systems and the network always just got configured auto on first install of the OP . Then the internet connection failed ( I think it was after I'd booted into windows then back into linux ) .
So I can connect to the internet using windows 7 with the intergrated network harddware but not with linux. ( ubuntu , Mageia etc ).It just keeps saying connecting .Though it used to work perfectly fine .
To temporarily get around this I installed PCI Express network adapter which works fine on both OP's .Though Ideally I need to free up that slot for a graphics card now and would like to get the intergrated network adapter functioning with linux again .
also the network light dosn't flash on the back of my pc when I plug the lead in as it used to .
If the newtworking was'nt running with windows then the evidence would suggest that intergrated networking is damaged .But since it does work perfectly normally under windows it has to be some software/driver linux issue surely ?.
