Ive tried Knoppix for the first time today, and realized that my nforce2 network card worked! Hurray!

I'm totally new to linux, but ive managed to install SuSE9 on my computer. The problem now is to get the Nforce2 network card to work with suse. Is it possible to use the knoppix network card driver on SuSE9?

And how do I do that?

Thanks in advance.

No it is not possible you need to go to Nvidia web site and get the official driver and compile the source for your installed kernel or search the internet for the forcedeth Open Source driver IIRC and again compile for your kernel.
