 |
|
Has anyone gotten the nforce nvnet driver to compile on kernel 2.6? I get some error with headers and stuff.
I will try a clean 2.6 install soon and post the error message then.
Anyone know if the drivers are supposed to work on 2.6 or if there is a workaround ( or are drivers for nforce net maybe even included in the kernel and I didnt see them yet?  ) |

you have to emerge the latest nforce-net ebuild, or put in the one from the kernel. (the one from the kernel is not officially supported by nVidia)

| Code: |
emerge gentoo-dev-sources
|
it has the Reverse Engineered nForce ethernet driver. 
it works just like the nvnet driver, but its a little slow duing bootup. (it takes a long time (4 seconds) to load )

It is also in the alpha stage and not deemed stable for production-grade systems. Might be nice for the guy to know.
