Need Hint On Toshiba M45 ethernet device
Hi Geniuses,
I got a Toshiba M45 (it has Sonoma)
this is the culprit here:
• Marvel® 10BASE-T/100BASE-TX Ethernet.
I got it working for a while in SuSE 9.X, but xorg was too messed up.
(sax totally failed here) Though the xorg release candidte SuSE rpm fixed it once,Now after a clean reinstall there is no ethernet, nor is there in Fedora core 3 or Knoppix. Knoppix configured everything else properly and was fast.
? What is this ethernet card generically so I can load a module for it into kernel. Or is it there somewhere? What is this card? What is a marvel?
I've tried about 20 different modules and have also disabled apic, usb.
Side-note: this laptop has embedded Linux Media Player that boots from a left panel panel button. It will play music/dvd without booting into Windows.
I think if I could intall with the latest kernel release (maybe using Gentoo)
uggghhh!?
Thanks
