hmm I dunno... there are drivers from nvidia for the nforce for linux.. but I dunno how you'd go about installing gentoo on it.
I have an nforce laying around., I can try and get it to work if you want? |

| IIRC, the onboard LAN is determined by the particular vendor of your particular board. Run a search on [url]google.com/linux[/url] for your exact hardware and see what driver you're supposed to use. |

I'm having this problem too, the MSI and (IIRC) ABIT nForce boards use the network chip which is built into the MCP produced by nVidia (originally from the XBox). The other ASUS, either uses a RealTek (sorta) standard mobo chip or doesn't have onboard network so they won't be affected.
The drivers for this are available at nvidia's homepage but I don't know how to compile them for my Gentoo installation. I'm getting errors when I try to do it on my other, non-nforce debian box.
The walkthrough says that gentoo comes with all the network drives needed but I think it's missing nVidia's MCP chipset module (nvnet.o).

I'm gonna try the precompiled i686 like someone suggested and see what I can do with my newbish linux skills. Wish I had a NIC handy to stick in... |

Okay, got through that once with a stage3 okay but now I want to clear off and start clean with 1.4rc1 stage 1...I still don't have a nic handy, could I compile the nvnet drivers on one of gentoo's liveCDs and copy the compiled kernel modules to my FAT32 partition and use that with the 1.4rc1 Installer kernel?
Any help appreciated |
