Here is my problem I have an Abit NF7-S motherboard that has built in Ethernet. Problem is RedHat 9.0 doesn't recognize it. I have gone to the Nvidia site and downloaded the supposed drivers for this chip set and ran the rpm files files. They seemed to install but when i try to configure the network connection there is no drop down for nvidia. I am totally new to the linux world so if anyone has a step by step retard proof way of getting RedHat to recognize that Ethernet card I would appreciate it. Also I have spare Ethernet cards that might be recognized by Linux would that be easier.

I'm kind of new at this too, but this worked for me...

Open your favorite terminal, su to root and run

/sbin/lspci

If you see your ethernet controller, the drivers are installed.

Run redhat-config-network-druid and follow the instructions. It finds my onboard nForce2 Ethernet Controller.

Let us know what happens.
