[SOLVED] How to remove drivers...

RouterRat · 04-06-2011, 01:24 AM

Gents,

I choosed wrong network brand/drivers from drivers list while installing Debian.

Now each time I try to get to that screen, it automatically chooses the driver I selected previously and my NIC doesn't work.

I erased my logical drives and recreated different ones so maybe I could delete installed drivers.

How can I get rid of this selection?

Thanks.

When I do lsmode I don't see any network card or brand. It's HP DL380 server and probably has broadcom ethernet card.

As I mentioned I choosed intel drivers for it but now I don't see anything.

What should I be looking for?
