Greetings; I just swapped in a new motherboard to replace one with data errors here and there. Biostar M7NCD-PRO with athlon 2800XP, 1Gb of dimms. Two problems remain: No sound, no onboard networking I have the old net card in and running ok, but I'd like to save a slot and use the newer onboard LAN port. However, when I attempt to turn it on in the bios, it then asks me for a MAC address to use. I was under the impression that this was hardcoded, silly me, but what do I use to make sure its unique? And, I'd really like to be able to play some music, but the only sound ATM is the beep speaker in the case. Can anyone help me, what modules do I build etc? My /etc/sysconfig/hwconf as it exists now: - class: OTHER bus: PCI detached: 0 driver: unknown desc: "nVidia Corporation|nForce2 AGP (different version?)" vendorId: 10de deviceId: 01e0 subVendorId: 0000 subDeviceId: 0000 pciType: 1 pcibus: 0 pcidev: 0 pcifn: 0 - class: OTHER bus: PCI detached: 0 driver: unknown desc: "nVidia Corporation|nForce2 Memory Controller 1" vendorId: 10de deviceId: 01eb subVendorId: 1565 subDeviceId: 1400 pciType: 1 pcibus: 0 pcidev: 0 pcifn: 1 - class: OTHER bus: PCI detached: 0 driver: unknown desc: "nVidia Corporation|nForce2 Memory Controller 4" vendorId: 10de deviceId: 01ee subVendorId: 1565 subDeviceId: 1400 pciType: 1 pcibus: 0 pcidev: 0 pcifn: 2 - class: OTHER bus: PCI detached: 0 driver: unknown desc: "nVidia Corporation|nForce2 Memory Controller 3" vendorId: 10de deviceId: 01ed subVendorId: 1565 subDeviceId: 1400 pciType: 1 pcibus: 0 pcidev: 0 pcifn: 3 - class: OTHER bus: PCI detached: 0 driver: unknown desc: "nVidia Corporation|nForce2 Memory Controller 2" vendorId: 10de deviceId: 01ec subVendorId: 1565 subDeviceId: 1400 pciType: 1 pcibus: 0 pcidev: 0 pcifn: 4 - class: OTHER bus: PCI detached: 0 driver: unknown desc: "nVidia Corporation|nForce2 Memory Controller 5" vendorId: 10de deviceId: 01ef subVendorId: 1565 subDeviceId: 1400 pciType: 1 pcibus: 0 pcidev: 0 pcifn: 5 - class: OTHER bus: PCI detached: 0 driver: unknown desc: "nVidia Corporation|nForce2 ISA Bridge" vendorId: 10de deviceId: 0060 subVendorId: 1565 subDeviceId: 3400 pciType: 1 pcibus: 0 pcidev: 1 pcifn: 0 - class: OTHER bus: PCI detached: 0 driver: unknown desc: "nVidia Corporation|nForce2 SMBus (MCP)" vendorId: 10de deviceId: 0064 subVendorId: 1565 subDeviceId: 3400 pciType: 1 pcibus: 0 pcidev: 1 pcifn: 1 - class: OTHER bus: PCI detached: 0 driver: unknown desc: "nVidia Corporation|nForce2 External PCI Bridge" vendorId: 10de deviceId: 006c subVendorId: 0000 subDeviceId: 0000 pciType: 1 pcibus: 0 pcidev: 8 pcifn: 0 - class: OTHER bus: PCI detached: 0 driver: unknown desc: "nVidia Corporation|nForce2 AGP" vendorId: 10de deviceId: 01e8 subVendorId: 0000 subDeviceId: 0000 pciType: 1 pcibus: 0 pcidev: 1e pcifn: 0 - class: OTHER bus: PCI detached: 0 driver: btaudio desc: "Brooktree Corporation|Bt878 Audio Capture" vendorId: 109e deviceId: 0878 subVendorId: 0070 subDeviceId: 13eb pciType: 1 pcibus: 1 pcidev: 7 pcifn: 1 - class: OTHER bus: USB detached: 0 driver: unknown desc: "Linux 2.6.8-rc2-nf2 ehci_hcd nVidia Corporation nForce2 USB Controller" usbclass: 9 usbsubclass: 0 usbprotocol: 0 usbbus: 1 usblevel: 0 usbport: 0 usbdev: 1 vendorId: 0000 deviceId: 0000 usbmfr: Linux 2.6.8-rc2-nf2 ehci_hcd usbprod: nVidia Corporation nForce2 USB Controller - class: OTHER bus: USB detached: 0 driver: unknown desc: "Linux 2.6.8-rc2-nf2 ohci_hcd nVidia Corporation nForce2 USB Controller" usbclass: 9 usbsubclass: 0 usbprotocol: 0 usbbus: 2 usblevel: 0 usbport: 0 usbdev: 1 vendorId: 0000 deviceId: 0000 usbmfr: Linux 2.6.8-rc2-nf2 ohci_hcd usbprod: nVidia Corporation nForce2 USB Controller - class: OTHER bus: USB detached: 0 driver: unknown desc: "Linux 2.6.8-rc2-nf2 ohci_hcd nVidia Corporation nForce2 USB Controller (#2)" usbclass: 9 usbsubclass: 0 usbprotocol: 0 usbbus: 3 usblevel: 0 usbport: 0 usbdev: 1 vendorId: 0000 deviceId: 0000 usbmfr: Linux 2.6.8-rc2-nf2 ohci_hcd usbprod: nVidia Corporation nForce2 USB Controller (#2) - class: OTHER bus: USB detached: 0 driver: unknown desc: "Logitech, Inc.
