I do not have this board, but several other asus boards. They always worked. I just glanced at the asus page http://www.asus.com/product.aspx?P_ID=6nnVb6RBxd7PhGmt it is stated it has Intel G31 Intel ICH7 chipset. nothing said about the ethernet chip. So, I would suggest you do a lspci and probably paste the output here. it will look something like this: ... 00:10.0 Bridge: nVidia Corporation MCP55 Ethernet (rev a2) 00:11.0 Bridge: nVidia Corporation MCP55 Ethernet (rev a2) ... then you may google for the correct kernel module and load it manually like ths : insmod forcedeth I always have a knoppix live cd available. booting this, will give you most liekly a working configuration for your hardware, look at lsmod output and compare it to lspci. I had a similar problem once (not emc2) and was able to convince the distro to load the correct kernel module based on the knoppix lspci / insmod output. In that case I had to tweak the modprobe.conf to get it permanently right. hth chris __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Sie sind Spam leid? Yahoo!
