Re: [SLE] nForce NIC & SuSE 8.0

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 am not sure if this is relevant but Nvidia have some Nforce drivers on their Web Site. http://www.nvidia.com/view.asp?PAGE=drivers Brian Marr

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
