Hi Phil, We're going to need more info. Is it PCI or ISA (w/ jumpers or PnP)? My guess is it will use one of the ne2K drivers. Tim

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

It is PCI, I don't think it is PnP, mainly from the results I get installing it in windows, it just says it is a generic card. Once I have selected a driver in YAST do I need to do anything else? I have tried: cat /proc/net/dev Hoping for a eth0 entry, but it just gives a load of numbers and 'packets errs drop' entries. Cheers Phil
