Re: need help in installing nic drivers
From my expreience with Dell's computers they need a special version of e1000 module. one of my clients uses only Dell computer's and they sent him a version of this module (he only uses red-hat), but I think they've also sent him the source. you can ask your dealer about that, and if he can't help let me know and I'll try to get it from him.

(I wouldn't be suprised if it wasn't there). If thats the case I reccomend installing another NIC until you can get the system up running and build a new kernel with support for that card. but it may be there, you probably have to use the bf24 kernel in order to use it(as opposed to the default or the compact kernels). Assuming your using the main CD for installing, hit F1 for help when the boot loader comes up and you can see how to change kernels for installing. nate -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

I didn't see it listed in stable, although it is a module in the testing and unstable 2.4.20 kernels. Once you have the module, just modprobe e1000, and, if necessary, manually configure it and the routing table. -- Seneca [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.
