Suse 9.3 Driver Installation "?"

Okitasoshi · 08-31-2006, 05:28 AM

I was wondering how I'm supposed to Download drivers on Suse 9.3. More Specifically on a Network device. It's an Onboard Device, and after I installed Suse I "Configured" it to no Avail. I know installing the drivers for the Network Device will work, as i have to do it for wnidows too. Any help is greatly appreciated. In the meantime I'll try to search for more info on here.

What is the exact make and model and chipset your of your network card?

Microstar international RTL-8169 Gigabit Ethernet

also when i try and update from disc it says:
can't read suse9.3/patch or something, not sure why it can't read that.

It looks like your network card uses the r8169 module.

Try modprobe r8169 and restart.

Also, if you Google "RTL-8169 Linux" you will find all sorts of information.
