@nic drivers- Knoppix linux (Nvidia Nforce MCP network adp.)

by OO » Sun, 12 Oct 2003 00:32:59

Hello there:

I hope I am posting in the right newsgroup.
I am new to Linux. I am getting acquainted with it using the
Knoppix Linux (it boots from the cd). It loads most of the
drivers but it doesn't have the one for my integrated network
Nvidia Nforce MCP(biostar motherboard).

Any help in the subject would be appreciated.

Regards,

downloaded) and it fails.. Same thing with RPM build and build from
tar ball.
