I just downloaded a copy of fedora core 1

I upgraded from an old soyo motherboard to a new Asus A7N8X-Deluxe with dual on board lan.

It reognizes some lan drivers, but has irq labelled as unknown.

Logically my network card wont activate when i try to activate it.

I had the same problem with my old d-link network card, but I fixed it some how, it's been years however and I can't remember.

Help Anyone? Thanks.

The first possible issue looks like it it not a problem, sata drives, The LAN most requires the NVIDIA drivers for the nforce chipset. See the following link;

I downloaded those drivers, installed them, and it found some network card called nvnet on eth1.

However, when I tried to activate that nic card, it tells me that the module for it can not be found.

Shortly after, the other network card it found initially [by itself during setup] (3Csomething EMB) was able to activate, but my internet still didnt work.

I think maybe I should format it all and re-install fedora.

I have a feeling, however, I'm going to get the same problem when I install those nvidia drivers again.

3Com = eth0 (3C920B-EMB)
nVIdia = eth1 (nForce MCP)

(RH9)

I haven't used the net on that machine so not sure if they are actually working. I have a XP box that I use, so I know the connections work. Just not sure if they do with Linux or not.
the nvnet is the nvidia one.
