Mandrake will recognise most network cards automatically. Very often when it fails to recognise a network card it is due either to an interrupt problem or an issue with the BIOS Try booting with some features disabled :- Boot and at the Lilo screen enter ESC. You will be taken to a text prompt. Enter linux noapic noacpi nolapic It will then continue booting. If your network card then works try again with only two of the features disabled and so on until you find which one is the problem. We can then show you how to make it boot that way by default. If that does not help then it may be an Interrupt issue. In your BIOS set "PlugNPlayOS=no" if you have that parameter, and disable any on board devices you are not using. If your BIOS allows you to select an interrupt line for any of your devices try changing the lines selected. Finally with some motherboards moving PCI cards to different slots will cause interrupt lines to be allocated differently. Other things you may find helpful :-= In a terminal enter 'dmesg' to see the boot messages. You should see messages about the on board network device being discovered. In a terminal enter 'lspci' for a list of all the devices on the PCI bus Your Ethernet should be listed. HTH derek -- www.jennings.homelinux.net http://twiki.mdklinuxfaq.org
