Hello,
From my config file I'm using this driver for 2.6.22-gentoo-r8:
CONFIG_FORCEDETH=y
CONFIG_B44=y
lspci shows:
00:10.0 PCI bridge: nVidia Corporation MCP51 PCI Bridge (rev a2)
00:14.0 Bridge: nVidia Corporation MCP51 Ethernet Controller (rev a3)
03:00.0 Network controller: Broadcom Corporation BCM4310 UART (rev 02)
The Broadcom is the wireless ethernet chip, I believe.
Anyway, wired ethernet works fine under Gentoo, but since
it is a dual boot laptop, I need to get the wired ethernet
working under XP (hence, the OT, in the subject. Wireless
is not a concern at the moment.
Does anyone know where I can download just a working ethernet
driver for this chip under XP? (lspci -vvv:
00:14.0 Bridge: nVidia Corporation MCP51 Ethernet Controller (rev a3)
Subsystem: Hewlett-Packard Company Unknown device 30b7
I'm not sure who's ethernet hardware Nvidia uses. Using lshw I see:
product: HP Pavilion dv9000 (GD545AV)
description: Motherboard
product: 30B9
vendor: Quanta
*-bridge
description: Ethernet interface
product: MCP51 Ethernet Controller
vendor: nVidia Corporation
physical id: 14
bus info: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:00:14.0
logical name: eth0
version: a3
serial: 00:1b:24:66:3a:b0
The original installation partition was Vista and it's gone. I
installed XP pro (working fine except for wired ethernet), but I
cannot seem to find an ethernet driver. HP is useless I did get
one fact from the myriad of folks at HP support. There is nothing
about the machine that mandates Vista. All of the hardware should
work with XP. All they will do is send me a recovery CD.
Maybe somebody (more skilled than I at windoz) could help me locate
a binary or source code ethernet driver that would work under XP pro?
I've googled my fingers off with no luck
desperate (as usual),
James
I usually use the nforce drivers; one of the few manufacturers that do
a half decent job w/ drivers is nvidia.
my ex roommate, a windows tech, however, always recommends you go
straight to the chip manufacturer; i guess that would be broadcom.
