Nothing even came up, i should tell you the driver is being loaded i read the text as it came down and it says the kernel loaded the module with warnings that the drivers isnt open source.

I should add when i try to ping my router it cant ping because the network is unreachable. Please Help Someone.

Add a line to your /etc/rc.d/rc.modules :

Code:

/sbin/modprobe nvet

Then configure the device using the 'netconfig' script and setup your networkdevice.
