Hi,
I'm having problems with my first Linux installation (so expect some naivite). The Ethernet card - a 3C905-TX on an MSI K7N2G mobo - is a real mare!! Let me say that all works well under WinXP. The NIC is connected to the Cable modem (ftom ntl in the UK).
I had loads of trouble getting the board to go "active" at all, but finally managed after I turned off kudzu ("chkconfig kudzu off" and a reboot). Now I can ping and browse, but everything goes at a snail's pace. If I ping the BBC website I get 50% packet loss.
I've spent a LOT of time with this now so help would be greatly appreciated.
Many thx, Mike
PS I tried to work with the on-board nVIDIA ethernet but that wasn't recognised, and nVIDIA don't supply a driver for core 2.4.22-1.2115
