I just installed SuSe 9.1 with the 2.6.5 kernel on a AMD64 machine with NVidia's NForce 3 chipset. The onboard lan does not seem to be recognized and it does not work. I read that the forcedeth module is already included in the 2.6.x kernels so what do I do to get it to work? Right now I plugged in spare PCI lan board. thanks Matthijs (still pretty new to linux) _________________________________________________________________ MSN Search, for accurate results! http://search.msn.nl
I just put together a new board as well. I didn't put SuSE on that board, however I noticed that it is a Gigabit network card that required relatively new drivers. I don't remember, were there any linux drivers on the CD for the board? B-) On Tuesday 20 July 2004 02:15 pm, Matthijs Amelink wrote:

I have a shuttle AMD64 system, same chipset, and mine works fine. (gigabit and sound). However, I had to install it from a network. so I used a boot CD (since I don;t have a DVD drive) and then had to load individual drivers, then point to a network install. I believe the module name was nforceth? or something like that. R. On Tue, 2004-07-20 at 15:45, Brad Bourn wrote:

The module is forecedeth and the Gigabit support was added in 2.6.8-rc2. This AMD 32-bit box has the nForce2 using that driver which has been around for quite a while. There is a kernel patch by Dave Jones for previous 2.6 kernels, that was what was included with 2.6.8-rc2. Regards Sid. -- Sid Boyce .... Hamradio G3VBV and keen Flyer =====LINUX ONLY USED HERE=====

Which Shuttle model(s) come with GigE? I bought a SN85G4(v2) last month with an Athlon64 3200 (1GB RAM, 250GB SATA, DVD+-RW, etc.) running SuSE Linux 9.1 Personal, and IT didn't come with Gigabit! Bummer! The reason I'm beating my head against the wall now, though, is because I just got a Shuttle "PN15" 802.11g USB WLAN Module, and Linux doesn't seem to recognize it. I go into "Yast2 -> Hardware -> Hardware Information" and it says "Unclassified Device". :-( Does anybody know if there are drivers for this wireless module? I scoured Shuttle's website, and filled out their customer feedback form; if they need to hear from more people to convince them to support Linux, I'm doing my part. (And if they need somebody to beta test the x86_64 Linux build, I'm their guy!) Mayhaps a newer kernel might help? I'm hovering at "2.6.5-7.95-default" now; anything newer will mean fetching source. I've got no problems doing a "make oldconfig; make; make install; make modules_install", though. (Before I reinstalled I was up to 2.6.7, which was the latest at the time, but that was also before I got this WLAN dongle.) Also, the BIOS History at "ftp://ftp.shuttle.com/BIOS/fn85/readmefn85.htm" didn't seem to touch on any of this, but that's another moving part I can try to tweak if I think it might help (And if I can figure out how to flash the BIOS without using Windows...) Anyway, anybody's help will be greatly appreciated. Rock on! -- Dabrien "Dabe" Murphy Sr. Systems Administrator Parabon Computation, Inc. www.parabon.com
