Thanks, I am nearly stressed up because i am fighting with this connection for nearly a month, I dont find Broadcom Netextreme either in the list of adapters. Also i tried to download the latest kernel RPMs 2.6.10... as adviced but when trying to install rpm -i kerlnelxxx All i get is a warning message and no further installation takes place. I am mailing by booting with winxp and my FC2 is still dormant in the other side of my harddisk. How do i probe for findingout what NIC type i have(ie what linux detects my NIC type is). thank you - ash --- Jan Morales <jan@xxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: > Ahamarshan jn wrote: > > Hello, > > I have a DELL-8400 Series PC with SATA drive > and I dual booted it > > with winxp-prof and FedoraCore2 , there was and > still a problem with the > > sata drive not getting recognised by FC2, i have > overcome this by > > changing the settings in bios (i need to do this > everytime i boot!), > > also while booting it says Unrecognised > board/chipset, but the real > > problem is that when i try to connect to the > internet, i get an error > > message that my device is not recognised.
