How do I figure out what this onboard ethernet chip is so I can configure it. Read the MB manual several times and there is no clue as to what it is. Yast does not see it and the list that Yast supplies to choose from is huge. I tried guessing at a couple of them with no luck. Can't access the router.
That board has a VIA VT8237 chipset - according to the VIA website, this includes a PHY called VT6103 - but only for 10/100, not 1000. A little googling seems to suggest the via-rhine driver should work - did you try that? For GigE I would try the Realtek 8139 driver - that's what the MSI website says.
Hello, Thanks to all who replied. As Scott suggested I looked at the board specs. It is listed as a Realtek 8110S Dual layout. I had tried the via-rhine driver before asking for help. After getting this info I then tried the Realtek 8139. No go on that either. Must have something to do with the way I have the card configured. Have never: ever tried to set up any type of network thing before. All brand new to me. The router is supposedly 192.168.0.1 If I type that into Konqueror I get this message: An error occurred while loading http://192.168.1.0: Could not connect to host 192.168.1.0. If I go to a Konsole as root and type in ifconfig eth0 192.168.1.10 netmask 255.255.255.0 up, I get this: EasyStreet:/ # ifconfig eth0 192.168.1.10 netmask 255.255.255.0 up SIOCSIFADDR: No such device eth0: unknown interface: No such device SIOCSIFNETMASK: No such device eth0: unknown interface: No such device Have looked at every /etc/ file that I can think of and am still lost.
