Mandrake 9.2 and nForce2 integrated

Martin Bishop · 12-05-2003, 06:16 PM

I'm trying to set up my integrated ethernet card for my A7N8X-X nForce2 mobo. I am using mandrake 9.2 and I tried running the mandrake config for the network but it doesn't detect an ethernet device, do I need to get some special drivers? load a module? how would I set it up after it finds the interface

hi
you need to download nvidia driver and install it..

yeah I found that out just now from a friend, downloaded the driver, and will install it, but after I do, it should detect eth0...but then what do I need to do? I am hooked to a router, which is hooked to a modem and uses adsl. it uses dhcp...would the mandrake config program set it up right?

I don't have sound, but the network is working fine.
