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?
Each module is for a specific NIC. If you donwloaded more than one module trying to figure out which one to use, first figure out what NIC you have and search google for the corresponding module. If all else fails, use
modprobe until you find the right module. (
modprobe is how you install a module. You can also you
insmod if you know which module to load.)
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?
(Hint) If your mobo has an onboard nic, turn it off in the BIOS.
Why would he want to do that, when he's trying to use it?
