Hi, ALL,
I'm trying to re-install one of my old laptops, which has a Marvell Ethernet card (88E8040 PCI-E Fast Ethernet Controller).

And it is not recognised for some reason.

What driver I should load from the LiveCD?

Thank you.

ONEEYEMAN,

We need its PCI Vendor and Device ID from the first line of its description in
Code:
lspci -nn


Code:
09:06.0 Ethernet controller [0200]: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. RTL8169 PCI Gigabit Ethernet Controller [10ec:8169] (rev 10)

What do you get in place of my
Code:
[10ec:8169]
