hi! i use centos 4.4 version.


i have a hp laptop 6000 series in specific(pavillion dv 6602au). when i was installing centos it did not automatically detect drivers so i had to select the drivers i did so it got installed but when i tried to connect to internet it was not possible the connection was not getting activated mostly because of improper driver.


i have a pppoe broadband connection.


please tell me which all drivers i need to select during installation and how to get connected to internet.



please do help me i am doing my engineering project in linux and i need centos itself please help me out.

You need to help us first..........

What Ethernet/wireless device(s) are in that laptop??? Use the typed command /sbin/lspci -v to let us know. Only post the portions about your Ethernet/Network controller(s), you may have two one wired and one wireless.

Example from my laptop;

sorry i could not find ethernet conroller,but i remember seeing a realtek ethernet driver during installaton.


Network controller: Broadcom Corporation 802.11 a/b/g Wlan Controller

Then please check the contents of the /etc/modprobe.conf file, do you see a line that looks like;

alias eth0 <something>

Also try tying ifconfig and report the output.

The manuals (the System Administration Guide) for CentOS explain how to setup/configure a PPPoE connection;

For the wireless inteface you will want to follow this about setting up and using the dkms-ndiswrapper;
