Hi there list, I've been running Suse on both my laptop and desktop for quite a while and I'm really happy with it. I got a problem with getting LAN to work on my new pc however, it's the onboard gigabit-card on my MSI K9N SLI-2F, which runs on an NForce 570 chipset. The only driver I can find on Nvidia is for 10.0 (for the wrong kernel) and I can't seem to find any howto's on the net on how to get this to work. The funny thing is that it is detected and seems to be running fine, but I can't get it to take a dhcp-address, and if I set the ip manually everything looks fine, but I can't ping anything... Any ideas would be appreciated :) Thanx Sturla

I have an MSI system I got from tiger direct. It totally works out of the box though its nic is based on RealTech so no problems there. I use DHCP on it because I have dialup at home and network at school at the LUG meeting. Do you have a apare nic card all the MSI can disable the onboard. Its a cheap patch until a driver comes out but it will have you up and running. -- ___ _ _ _ ____ _ _ _ | | | | [__ | | | |___ |_|_| ___] | \/
