HELP!

I've got similar problems only its the other way around.

I'm a linux newbie. 2 hour old newbie in fact.

My onboard ethernet controller isnt recognised when i boot from knoppix v3.33-2003-11-19.

when I type 'lspci' in the shell thingy it recognises i've got a 'nvidia nforce MCP network controller' however when I go the thing to initialise my network controller it says no valid ethernet device was found.

When I boot normally to winXP it works fine.

if i do have to download a driver, how will I know which is the right one?

Can anyone help?

thanx in advance
