NVIDIA network card on Mandrake 10
Right now my brand-new Mandrake system has no internet, even though it's hard-wired. At boot, eth0 fails to start after 60 seconds. KDE says my network card is an nForce2 MCP Networking Adapter and Linux is using the "forcedeth" module. For this card and for my video card, I booted to Windows and got the universal driver from NVIDIA. The compile for the driver failed. I wanted to play with the kernel (2.4.something) configuration hoping there was an NVIDIA module in there that I could add, but /usr/src does not have any kernel sources in it. I guess it's because I haven't updated my kernel yet on the system. So now I'm stuck. With no way of compiling the driver or adding kernel modules, how can I get my internet working?
TIA,
astro
