dangerousfigure Posted September 24, 2004 Posted September 24, 2004 what type of nic card are you using? you may have to install the drivers for it, if you are using a nforce 1 or 2 chip set have fun the only driver that works good with mandrake is with the pro suite Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zarkhalar Posted September 24, 2004 Posted September 24, 2004 (edited) Okay, lets see... Mandrake + Nic issue, heh. I had the same issue when I first used Mandrake... It couldn't detect my NIC card either, but it's been a while since I used mandrake though :/ I'd like you to run a few programs and, even if you have to type it up, make it grammically correct and precise. All of these will be ran in a TERMINAL window and are simply words that execute a program. The user you will need to run these as is root, so when you open your terminal window, you need to run su and enter your root password. The first command is lsmod This will tell me if you have a nic card loaded or not lspci This will tell me your system information so we can properly troubleshoot you ifconfig And this last one will help me see what ethernet devices are currently running. Again, it's important that I can get this information in the correct format :/ I'll be back to check if you responded yet later tonight.

Aristotle Posted September 29, 2004 Posted September 29, 2004 Most Linux distros still have problems with onboard NICs. You may not be able to get it to work. All I can advise you to do is go to google for any Linux Motherboard drivers. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
