Nforce2 and redhat 9 lan wont work.
I rsently setup redhat 9 on my new nforce2 system. Redhat found the sound and Usb and all that on install, but didnt find the lan, I thought no problem I will just go get the Nvidia drivers, well I did that and it still doesnt work. It added the driver as a mod, but it just keeps coming up and saying cannot find card. I am wondering if anyone has had a similar problem. As a last resort I am going to just trow a 3com I have sitting around in but I would rather just use the on board.
My machine:
MSI Nfroce 2 Delta
Geforce 4 ti 4200
Dual boot xp and redhat 9
/dev/hda xp
/dev/hdb redhat 9
Well thanks for your time
Phil

Yep I had the same exactl problem with the nforce 2 on a gigaybyte motherboard.
What I did, was I bought a $15 Network Everywhere NIC, put it in and Red hat recognized it perfectly. You might try that.
Now also I believe theres a new kernel out 2.6.0 you might try downloading it and see if is supports your NIC better. I do believe that many people had problems witht the nforce chipset.
So either get the new kernel and see if it helps or buy a NIC.
Thats all the advice I have.

I dont think Redhat and Suse are going to incorporate the new Kernel until mid 2004.....

Ahhhh....
Well in that case, then your best bet would probably be to buy a cheap NIC.
I tried everything I knew to get it to work with both Suse and RH, but couldn't get it to work, and in the end just bought another NIC and put it in.
