NVIDIA nForce Networking Controller - Have You Gotten It To Work In Linux?

Hotwheelz · 05-27-2004, 04:54 AM

I have an Abit NF7-S mobo with the nForce chipset. It has the onboard NIC. My problem is that I cannot get Linux to recognize it. This has happend in Red Hat 9, Fedora Core 1 and Mandrake 9.1.

Yes, I have downloaded the drivers for the nForce chipset, took them to Linux and installed. Nothing.

I have been forced to put 2 NIC's in and use one for Linux and the onboard for Windows. Thats a pain in the ***. Especially since the 2nd NIC is crap.

So anyway, has anybody gotten this to work? Am I missing something?

god.... my pice of hoe biostar 200N. In linux it can't c my hdd OR MY NETWORKING CONTROLLER. The only things that do work are my cd, flop, cpu, mobo, vid, and sound LOL

generally, nvidia net controllers+linux =bad LOL

i mean, pretty much, theres a kernel that will support any hardware... just a matter of finding the right one.
