I was hoping I wouldn't get this sort of answer. :)
These cards should not be too expensive (exceeding P500), right?
Thanks so much,
Abe

If you check dmesg and there's nothing in it about that NIC, it may be
an unsupported card.
If you really need to connect that PC to the network, you can get
another NIC, just make sure that it's Linux-compatible.
Hope this helps. Thanks!

I just completed installation of Mandriva Linux 2006 on a new machine
with the following specs:
Motherboard: Red Fox GeForce 6100-M9
Processor: AMD Athlon 64 3000+
RAM: 1 GB
How do I get started connecting to our LAN if my network interface
device is not on the list found in "Mandriva Linux Control Center" >
"Network & Internet" > "Set up a new network interface (LAN, ISDN, ADSL,
...)"? The device is on-board. Here's all the information on it found on
the motherboard's manual:
10/100 LAN PHY
- PHY: RTL8201BL/RTL8201CL.
- Supports 10 Mb/s and 100 Mb/s auto-negotiation.
- Half/Full duplex capability
- Supports ACPI, PCI power management
Is there any other means of setting up my network connection, preferably
another GUI configuration tool (my apologies to configuration-by-hand
purists)?
Thanks,
Abe Mandac
