Suse 8.0 My onboard Nvidia Network controller is working ok with the NForce driver, but I gave it a fixed ip address. I used modprobe to load the driver (nvnet). Ifconfig was then used to get the interface up and running. Brian Marr On Tuesday 02 July 2002 11:27, you wrote:
Hi Brian,
Actually these results are in fact AFTER I installed the SuSE 8.0 RPM from the nVidia/nForce web pages. Without that RPM, the NIC doesn't show any signs of life.
Thanks for your help!

I have another SuSE 8.0 machine with a linksys NIC working fine so I am not sure if this is a SuSE
8.0
problem or specific to the nForce (nVidia) NIC.
Any ideas/suggestions what to try next other than buying a linksys NIC?
Thanks,
Babu
