I use Fedora Red Hat9.

My motherboard is:

MSI K7N2 DELTA-ILSR Hovedkort Socket A nForce2

*
It says that it cant find the network card...
I have tried 2 drivers from Nvidia`s homepage at

NVIDIA_nforce-1.0-0261.rh90up_2.4.20_6.athlon.rpm

AND

NVIDIA_nforce-1.0-0261.rh90up_2.4.20_9.athlon.rpm

Let me know what kernel version you are using. You can find that with the command:

Code:

cat /proc/version

You probably don't have the right kernel version for that driver if you're running RedHat9 and have upgraded. And if you're running Fedora Core, you definitely don't (RH and Fedora are actually different so I'm assuming a little here).
If you post your kernel version, it'll help clarify things.

In any case, the answer is this.
Use this rpm instead. It is a source rpm, which you can create a new one for your kernel with. Download the file, then rebuild it with the command given. When you finish this (and if it doesn't say "Error" on some of the last few lines, it worked. You'll see a line up about 10-12 lines, saying "Wrote: /usr/src/redhat/RPMS/NVIDIA_nforce-1.0-0261.athlon.rpm"
You want to install that RPM instead of the above you posted. Remove the other one first.

Code:

rpm -e NVIDIA_nforce
cd <directory containing the .src.rpm>
rpmbuild --rebuild NVIDIA_nforce-1.0-0261.src.rpm
rpm -ivh /usr/src/redhat/RPMS/NVIDIA_nforce-1.0-0261.athlon.rpm

cd <directory containing the .src.rpm>
rpmbuild --rebuild NVIDIA_nforce-1.0-0261.src.rpm
rpm -ivh /usr/src/redhat/RPMS/NVIDIA_nforce-1.0-0261.athlon.rpm

#CONFIG

#nVIDIA GeForce FX5200

#NVIDIA-Linux-x86-1.0-4496

#Red Hat 9.0

#AMD Athlon XP 2200+

#NVIDIA nForce

I had same problem after upgrade my driver, problem solve now. It's work.

Thank you.
