Hi,

Did you tried the autodetect fonction in the Install Procedure (just boot CD n°1): Supplementary Hardware detect. It should work fine.

Yes, and it did not detect it, but I think I have it working by trying every module there is, and guess what it was the last on (wd Western Digital). Now, if I 'ifconfig eth0' it looks like it is installed properly, is there a better way to test it. I don't what to start trying to set it up as a server until I know the card is working and set up properly. Cheers Phil

Hi,

New to Linux/SuSE, but if pointed in the right direction I can normally work things out.

Anyway, I have an unknown network card that I am trying to install. Under windows it detects it as a Generic Ethernet and gives it a generic driver.

How would I go about trying to find the correct module for it in Linux? trial and error? I have tried most of the obvious ones in YAST, but unless I am doing something else wrong, nothing is happening, it does not work or detected it and it gives no errors.

Any ideas?

Cheers

Phil
