Hello everyone, I have Fedora Core2 Test 2 installed in my computer. It is detecting my LAN card ( NVIDIA nForce MCP Networking Adapter). But I am not able to activate my LAN card. The LAN card is working fine b'cos I am able to access LAN in windows. I have no idea what is the problem. I'll be very grateful if somebody can help me. Thanks, dcffcd
What is detecting your LAN card?
Try
/sbin/modprobe forcedeth
as root. Than you shall be able to do /sbin/ifconfig eth0 up
You may need to substitute eth1 for eth1 if you have more than one network adapter. You may also need to pass more options to ifconfig if you are not using DHCP. Read man infconfig for more info.
If you your network works now, add
alias eth0 forcedeth
to your /etc/modprobe.conf and the module will be loaded on each boot.
Greets,
