Unable to identify and configure Network Card
 

I'm unable to define and configure my nForce network card on my Enterprise Linux 3.0

Is there a step by step approach to resolve the matter?

Thanx

I think the nForce cards use the forcedeth driver. Is this driver loaded. If not, try loading it to see if it finds your card.

Cheers.

I used lsmod command, i did not find any entry for forcedeth. so how do I load the driver? how I compile my kernel? I have AMD based system

thanx

Try a "modprobe forcedeth". Also, what does lspci show for the ethernet.

Although, you did say "network card". I thought all the nForce ethernet "ports" were built-in, not cards.

Cheers.

I used modprobe forcedeth, I got "can't locate forcedeth"

I also used the lspci. I got "nVidia Corporation CK804 ethernet controller (rev a3)

Yep, that's the built in nVidia controller.

What distro, and have you compiled your own kernel/modules. If not, do you have the .config that is used by the distro.

You may have to recompile to include that driver.

Cheers.

How do I compile the kernel?

I am new to Linux

thanx
