Cant get Knoppix to reconize built in ethernet card...
Hey, I know there are other topics like this already on this forum, but they don't really give any answers for my problem since im using a different setup.
Im running Knoppix from the CD and when I try to go my my network card configuration it just says "no cards detected" (or something to that extent)
Now, im a total Linux n00b so i dont know what to do. I tried to apply what was said in the other posts to my problem but iit didn't work.
I tried to look on Intels site for Linux drivers for my adapter but couldn't find any....
by the way, my Motherboard is the Asus P4C800-E Deluxe, it has some built in Intel gigabit LAN (which works fine with WinXP). Linux reconizes it as
"Intell 1019 unknown" under Ethernet when I type in the Konsole.
also, Asus describes the LAN on their website as "Intel CSA 82547EI Gigabit Ethernet Controller"
please remember I know almost NOTHING about Linux/Knoppix
Thanks for any help you can give me...

You may try to load manually the module e1000 :
Open a terminal
Type "su" without quotes then press Enter
Type "modprobe e1000" without quotes then press Enter.
Type "lsmod" to verify if the module is correctly loaded. If you see under Module "e1000" and under Used "1" it would be OK.
(You may also click on K, choose System, choose Information Center, choose Network, if you see the line eth0 ...... il would be OK.
Hope this helps (I'am a newbie too but happy to help)

Downloaded some drivers...
ok, well, I downloaded some drivers from Asus site for my motherboard , that are supposed to be for my ethernet adapter and work for Linux, but I have no idea how to install them....any help?
-
I do think what you downloaded from the Asus site is already integrated in Knoppix 3.4. The two modules (drivers if you like) are e100.o and e1000.o that could be used for your NIC. So I would suggest you first try what I've said :
Open a terminal
Type "su" without quotes - press Enter
Type "modprobe e1000" without quotes - press Enter
Run netcardconfig
-
Ok, im running Knoppix STD 2.4 and when I type "su" into the Konsole (is that the same thing as the Terminal?) I get a "password:" prompt.
When I type modprobe e1000 it just says some directory and stuff like "failed" "cannot creat module" or something
-
I'm sorry because I thought you're running Knoppix 3.4. You may give it a try because it has the modules e100/e1000 that could support your NIC.
-
Allright, ill give knoppix 3.4 a try, thanks
-
ok, I cant get Knoppix 3.4 to boot now, it gets to the part where it says checking CD ROM /dev/scd0 and then just stays there..., lol all I want is Linux running with an internet connection.
-
I think there may be problem with your Knoppix CD.
Have you verified the MD5 Checksum of your ISO ? To do it, you can use Toast442 under Windows that you can doawload here http://www.toast442.org/gl/public_ht...20828141406760
Try to burn your CD at lower speed : 4x or 8x
Then on boot, verify the integrity of your CD with the cheatcode "knoppix testcd" without quotes.
Hope this helps
