Re: Supported Network Cards? Please

I just finished figuring that out over the weekend - at least for the Intel NIC part.

Go to http://www.intel.com/support/network/adapter/1000/linux/e1000.htm

Download the driver.

On a clean rh7.2 install I did the following:
rpm -i /mnt/cdrom/SRPMS/kernel-2.4.7-10.src.rpm
That installs the kernel sources.

mkdir /root/intel
cd /root/intel
Put the driver tar ball there.
tar -zxvf *.gz
cd e1000-5.0.43/src
make install

Then:
echo 'alias eth0 e1000' >>/etc/modules.conf

Make sure Kudzu is oiperational & bounce the box.

Finish networking install.

Fix /etc/resolv.conf
Fix /etc/sysconfig/network
Fix /etc/hosts

Bounce the box.
