Hey folks; Yet another one of those pesky Redhat/Mandrake convert-wannabe's here. I have an HP Pavilion 9694C. The machine comes with an HP OEM network card. I tracked this down and it appears to be an Accton EN1207D-TX/WOL card. The Debian installer doesn't seem to have a module for this card (at least not one labeled as such). Accton actually does have a linux driver, but it comes in the form of a module with directions for using insmod to install it. That didn't work for me which I guess isn't surprising since it appears that I'd have to have the same kernal that they compiled the mod with (does that make sense?).
Does anyone know of an easier way to get this card working? As I said, I have some experience with Redhat and Mandrake, but not much; probably just enough to get in real trouble. I did have Mandrake on this particular machine and the card worked, so I figure there must be some working linux drivers out there somewhere. Maybe I'm in over my head? Should I go back to RH/Mandrake and run one of them for a while before I try Debian? (This is the second system I've tried to install Debian on; the other one has an nVidia card in it, and the display goes completely wonky on me. I'm still struggling to find my own answers on that one.) Thanks for any help. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo!
