Unknown NIC

[Huub]

Hi,

Can somebody please tell me what NIC is onboard the K8N? Running Slack
10.0, it doesn't recognize the NIC.

Thanks,

Huub

asus.com will tell you

Yes, it tells me "chipset built-in MAC with external PHY 10/100 Mbps
Ethernet", which doesn't say anything to me. What brand and type of
chipset? PHY doesn't say anything specific.

if you read in the manual it says it is IC Plus IP101 10/100 LAN PHY

It's an nForce nvnet NIC. All set now.

Actually, if it's the nVidia you're after:

modprobe forcedeth

If that fails, you'll need to either build it in the kernel or as a
module. (nForce reverse engineered).

Did you get my 2 previous posts?

Anyway, not sure whjy everybody is telling you what the physical layer
chip is, completely useless.

Anyway:

"Chipset NVIDIA nForce3 250Gb"
"Gigabit LAN - Chipset built-in Gigabit MAC"

Yes, but I have a K8N, 100Mbit NIC. The "nForce"-LAN was not mentioned
in the specs.

I thought the OP had a K8N, not a K8N-E Deluxe.

My bad.

http://usa.asus.com/prog/spec.asp?m=K8N&langs=09
"Chipset NVIDIA nForce3 250"
"LAN chipset built-in MAC"

Guess that makes no difference then.
