Back
We have recently purchased computers from
www.rafflesystems.com for the whole class, about 60 of
them. I am trying to install RH9 on these systems but
the system is not picking up the driver for the
builtin network card, so I can only activate loop back
interface.
I tried "alias eth0 e100 " and then also tried
e1000. I also downloaded a driver from Intel site. But
nothing seems to work. The name of the card is
"Intel(x) PRO/100 VE Network Connection "
Then I came across "Fedora ", I tried to install that.
It was fully installed. But when I tried to boot, it
stopped at "enabling swap space " and then hung there
for ever. So, I reverted back to RH9.
But I just had an idea. I booted from Fedora Disk and
used "Linux Askmethod " and gave the "nfs image "
method. Gave the IP address and bingo, it seems to
have picked up the network card driver.
Now, my question is how can I extract the network card
driver from Fedora disk and use it the computer where
RH9 is installed? Where do the drivers reside on the
CD-ROM? Are they compiled in the kernel or they are
available separately?
Help requested please
bye
