nvnet module not found

[Bertman]

Hi,

I recently installed Red Hat 9 on a separate HD but have been having trouble accessing the internet through the onboard LAN card in an nFORCE (not 2 or 3) chipset. The mobo is the ASUS AVN266-VM/LAN/AA in case this is relevant.

Just to be clear, though I'm knowledgeable about Windows, I'm an ignoramus of Linux, though the point of this is to learn. Anyhow, I have Cable but receive it via the LAN card through an external Cable Modem. I installed the nFORCE drivers and in the Network configuration, it clearly attributes eth0 to nvnet. However, when I try to activate it, it gives the following error:

Command failed: /sbin/modprobe nvnet
Output: Can't locate module nvnet

Any help in resolving this would be much appreciated.

probably it doesn't properly install

If nvnet is installed it will reside in
/lib/modules/2.4.XXX/kernel/drivers/net

or type find /lib/modules | grep nvnet.o
you should get something like this
bash-2.05b$ find /lib/modules/ | grep nvnet.o
/lib/modules/2.4.20-gaming-r5/kernel/drivers/net/nvnet.o
/lib/modules/2.4.21/kernel/drivers/net/nvnet.o
bash-2.05b$

if its not there its not installed or incorrectly installed
