LAN - eth0 not found (NVIDIA on board)

i just installed yesterday MDK 9.1 (after NVIDIA graph. driver problems).Everything works fine,but not the LAN.
I tried MDK control center and ifconfig found only Lo,not the eth0.

It is onboard MSI K7N2 NVIDIA2 chipset.

So i googled and found that i need to install this chipset driver:

I just wants to be sure before i do install.

Is this all i need?

Thanks for reading,

It seems to me i need to install some kernel patch.

I just wants to be 100% sure before i do something wrong.

So please help me someone,just post url or some another post (i haven't read yet ).

Yeah you need to install the driver, but if you're going to use the RPM, make sure you're using kernel 2.4.21.0.13 provided by Mandrake("uname -r" to find out your kernel version)
Otherwise you need to compile it yourself, check the alternative installation section on that nforce driver download page.

yea man,

thanks for reading and helping me.

Yes I'm using this Kernel.
Glad it is just one RPM,I hope.

I appreciate it,
