Hi all,
I have a Biostar M7NCG-400 mainboard with the Nvidia Nforce2 chipset having onboard audio/video and LAN.
I am running RHL Enterprize Linux on the box dual-booted with Win XP. During install of Linux, the LAN chip was not detected (obviously) - I installed the drivers from the Nvidia website and it was detected as NVnet. So far so good.....
But thats as far as I got. The eth0 device cannot be activated.
I used the Redhat-Config-Network command and got the following results:
- in the "Network Configuration" tab:-
Description Type Device Status
-------------- ------ -------- ---------
nvnet Ethernet eth0 Configured
- in the "Devices" tab:-
Status
--------
Inactive
I click on activate (or say: "service network start" in a term) and get the following error:
"nvnet device eth0 does not seem to be present, delaying initialization"
The LAN chip works fine on windows XP on the same box. What could the problem???
