Knoppix Not Recognizing VIA Onboard Lan
I have the driver for it, but it's a source code.
I have no idea how to compile.
Can someone give me a quick tutorial?
here's the driver package win32/linux/etc. 3.32 MB (3,489,792 bytes)

?? How is it not recognising the card?
Code:
$ cat /proc/version
Linux version 2.4.22-xfs (root@Knoppix) (gcc version 2.95.4 20011002 (Debian prerelease)) #1 SMP Fri Sep 5 23:47:38 CEST 2003

This is a VIA EPIA the onboard NIC "just works"(tm).
1. what sort of VIA mobo/LAN?
2. check it's enabled in the BIOS ... the BIOS default settings on this machine disable it.

No nic card, it's onboard, and i know it's enabled cause im using it right now.
I tri-boot windows 98, xp, and server 2003 and my onboard lan works fine in each of those OS'

So what model motherboard?
Does dmesg | grep eth report anything?
What information does an 'expert' boot give?
How are you running Knoppix? From CDROM or installed on HD?
- Compiling the module may be a bit awkward when running from CDROM (and you'll want to save the configuration), but the instructions in the linux.txt look reasonable if you've installed Knoppix to the HD.

The bit that's important was the "VIA VT6105 Rhine-III".
Looking at the code for the via-rhine.o that model's listed as supported, so once again, is the card being detected or not? What the result of
dmesg | grep eth
Booting in 'expert' mode may allow you to force load the module.
If it's being detected, but not configured then netcardconfig is the solution ...[/code]
