Suse linux network module?
 |
trying to install this os by ftp, which requires a small .iso and then all you have to do is specify the fpt ip. Well when i select network install, it says no network device found, plese install network module first.
I have a few modules I downloaded with tons of network devices in them, but i have no idea which one to specify. my nforce2 mobo uses the embeded nvidia mac, but im not sure which one this is. anyone have any idea how i can install this network module?

What NIC does the mobo have? Once you find that out, you'll be able to find out which module for the NIC you need.
Example:
NIC = Realtek 8139
Module needed: rtl8139.o
To install the module after you've located/identified it, you use either modprobe or insmod

man modprobe
man insmod
You shouldn't have to worry about parameters until you have the right module loaded, and even then you shouldn't need any extra parameters unless recommended by the manufacturer.
nVidia doesn't make NICs. Did you mean the motherboard has an onboard video adapter?

Why would he want to do that, when he's trying to use it?
Is it a onboard nic?
Give me the name of the nic, manafacuter, ect.........

My mistake, My bad ogre
Still need to know the excact make & model of the board?
WC: No biggie. Thx for the rate, BTW.
bigpoppapumpg: Whats the status? Do you still need help locating the proper module, or is it working now?
