Unhappy D915GAV Driver


I have installed Slackware 10.2 in a Machine with an Intel D915GAV Motherboard.

It runs beautifully (I love Slack).

Anyways, the downside is I cannot get the Network Driver to work; the fact is I cannot find a Driver for the darn thing.

I don't have a problem not having sound or a webcam, but I depend on a network connection :-(

Winblows reports the LAN Card as Intel(R) PRO/100 VE.

I checked the Intel and searched the Web but no success.

Does anyone have a clue what driver to use or where to find it?

pddm,

Did you try

Code:
root@box: modprobe eepro100
If that doesn;t work, try modprobe eepro or modprobe e100. What does lspci -v show?

Thanks odevans,

modprobe e100 did the trick.

This made me curious about something else:

If the driver was there all the time, why would it not be recognized by itself?

PS: here is the lspci -v output for reference:
06:08.0 Ethernet controller: Intel Corporation 82562ET/EZ/GT/GZ - PRO/100 VE (LOM) Ethernet Controller (rev 01)
Subsystem: Intel Corporation: Unknown device 3057
Flags: bus master, medium devsel, latency 32, IRQ 3
Memory at ff7ff000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=4K]
I/O ports at bc00 [size=64]
Capabilities: [dc] Power Management version 2

Re your sound, did you run alsamixer (as root) and unmute / turn up the levels?. Did you run alsactl store (again, as root) afterwards to save them? I did a quick spot of googling on your mobo and it seems it should work. Try modprobe snd-hda-intel (got this from 2.6 kernel, don't know if it's in 2.4).

Hope this helps,

Owen

This is awsome.

I did not even expect to make it run.

Confirmed it all works on a 2.4 Kernel.

Thank you so much!

Don't forget to add any modprobes you did to your /etc/rc.d/rc.modules - that way they'll load on your next boot.

Glad you're all up and running!
