onboard LAN under linux?

**luwe** · 01-21-2004, 09:37 PM

I'm thinking of buying a new pc just for linux.
Mobo: MSI K7N2 Delta-L
It has onboard sound and LAN.
I'm pretty sure I could get the sound working.
I'm not sure about the LAN though?
Are onboard LANs recoginized by linux?
TIA

PS. thanks to anyone helping me out with my previous question.

A couple of custom knoppixes have the nvidia nvet LAN driver- Morphix, Phlak, Overclockix, ClusterKnoppix....

Most Linux distros do not include the driver becsaue of Nvidia's license restrictions.

Most are supported with drivers a good way to check is with a Google Linux which lead me here which says your onboard lan is supported by the Nforce driver it is not included on knoppix but I believe it is in Overclockix so you may want to check it out.
