Hello, I am a green newbie in Linux. I think this is the most important thing to mention:) Well, here is the problem. I am tring to install Suse Linux 9.1 FTP install. It asks me to load the NIC modules as they are not loaded. But i have no idea what modules I need to load. Are they in the module list? My config : P4 2.6 mhz 800 mhz FSB 512 megs ram DDR333 floppy dvd-cd LG drive Plexwriter Premium burner 1x PATA 120 gig Western Digital HD 8 megs cache 1x SATA 120 gig Western Digital HD 8 megs cache ATI Radeon 9800 Pro SBLive Audigy2 ZS MSI 875P FIS2R mobo D-LINK DFE-530TX NIC - this is the card in question I made some research and I found that supposely the tulip module or the via-rhine module can do the job. I tried the following : load the tulip module and try to install. Same error message : No network device found! Please load a network module first. Then I unloaded the module and I made the same manipulation with the via-rhine module = same error message. I also tried to find a driver for my NIC by making a research under Google. Nothing. As I have an Intel gigabyte card on-board with my MSI board I thought of loading the driver for that one at least for the install. I didn't find any info on what module to load or whatever. Please help! THANKS!

Try e1000 driver. HTH, Jeffrey
Hello, I tried the driver and it's finally working. But now I get a timeout as I try to configure my NIC using DHCP. I guess this is more IPS sided problem? Any other ideas? Thanks! At 06:52 PM 05/06/2004, Jeffrey L. Taylor wrote:

It may be an ISP problem, or routing, or firewall, or something more obscure. Try turning on debug. With the sysconfig editor in YAST2, change DHCLIENT_DEBUG (or edit /etc/sysconfig/network/dhcp) to yes and restart dhclient. You may not be able to do this at installation time. If you have a another machine or Windows on this machine, try booting, write down the IP address, and plug that in as a static address. Jeffrey
