nForce4 Ultra

Hey all,

Sorry if this question has been asked before (I searched and couldn't find anything though :\). I'm trying to do the net-install of Debian (sarge) on my desktop, but it can't detect my NIC. I'm using the nForce4's integrated ethernet and I'm not sure what driver I should select, if any.

Mobo:
VNF4 Ultra VE (made by Chaintech)

Thanks a lot.

forcedeth if in the linux kernel
nforce if in the proprietary drivers

Although, I don't know if any do NF4 yet.

Yeah, I tried with forcedeth (should've mentioned that) but it was a no-go.

Your chipset is very new. I don't even know if foredeth does NF3 chipsets. I know it works on NF2 though. I suggest installing the NFORCE package:

A net install is out of the question. Use DVD/CD media.
