Well, from all the responses I know everybody is holding their breath waiting for the solution. ;-) So here it is: I started the install cd with acpi=off and it detected the network card. Easy as! :) HTH someone else too. <div>On 4/9/06, <a href="mailto:rpowersau@gmail.com">rpowersau@gmail.com</a> <<a href="mailto:rpowersau@gmail.com">rpowersau@gmail.com</a>> wrote: <blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;"><div style="direction: ltr;">Hi, Well, I've spent the last few days trying to solve this. If you dig long enough on the internet you can find just about anything. ;) In order to get the built in ethernet to work, I have to build a module and load it. via provide the code. This has turned into quite an adventure. The install cd doesn't have all the packages to accomplish this (gcc3.4 for example) and the pc doesn't have a network connection. So I been searching the net and burning packages onto cd. Getting failed dependancies, searching for more packages and so on. But I think I finally got all the packages I needed. :) First I tried building the module on this PC and just copying it over. That didn't work, the kernel complained and wouldm't load it. So I copied all the files over to build on the asus motherboard. Make said something along the lines that the default kernel doesn't allow this and I would have to build my own. I've actually gotten it to build but I can't get it to boot.

Anybody have any ideas or suggestions on how to get this ethernet driver built and loaded into a kernel? I'm installing breezy on the pc and I got the source package linux-source-2.6.12 and gcc-3.4.

My SUSE didn't when I installed it. You have to manualy install the port info., and product info. yourself. Either in the system directory file, or terminal. You'll need to know what the product name is, the port's being used, if it's 10/100/1000, your serv. provider, and whatever else you have. You may have to ./makefile, to ./mkdir the files necessary to store the info. Look in the sys directory file to see if there is a file already made.
