Untill now nVidia does not support kernel 2.6! However for all of us that want to use kernel 2.6 on an nForce MoBo with the onboard NIC there is a reverse engineered driver that comes with the kernel as of kernel 2.6.2.

Try to find the driver (it is called "forcedeth") load it and configure your network. It should work!

[mygod100]

hi,NeoXP
Thank you first,and I found the forcedeth_2_6_patch at http://www.hailfinger.org/carldani/l...hes/forcedeth/ ,but I only found patchs(forcedeth_2_6_patch_vXX.txt), but no original of forcedeth code. could you please tell me how to use the patch?
Thank you again.

[NeoXP]

The forcedeth-driver should already be on you system!

I'm at work right now but, but it I'm right, you should look for it in /lib/modules/2.6.4/kernel/drivers/net

Good luck!

[mygod100]

sorry,I did not find it last day because of my wrong path, I find it just now. thank you very much.
I patched it & to redo make xconfig, but it looks like no more extra option after patched. & I could not find any FORCEDETH menu(option) in xconfig. Is that all only after patch forcedeth.c? but I recompiled the core and reboot with it, in the boot message,it report eth0 is ok,ppp0 is failed.but realy the eth0 is not work yet because I run ifconfig in xterm and it only report lo but no eth0. I try to start it, report is ok but yet not work.
could you tell me what's wrong? something wrong before my compile? need your help.
Thank you

[NeoXP]

you will have to bring up your network, else it won't work. Don't know how to advise you with this. I never worked with RH. Maybe you can find help from a RH expert.

[mygod100]

Thank you all the same,
The only thing I want to know is that after I patched the forcedeth.c,any selection should I make in the make xconfig? or with the default selection will auto include/to make with forcedeth.c ?
Thank you.

excuse me for the lameness,
i am running a redhat 9, with kernel 2.4.20-18.9...
i can't find a driver fitting it and before even thinking of updating the kernel,
i want to explore any other way.
Since official support won't help,
i was thinking about forcedeth,
visited the given url, but can't understand wich one i have to dnload...

all seems af the wrong version.... which one to use?
again: do i have to patch em? which file to patch?

thx G.

[dumbo11]

If you download a recent 2.6.x kernel, forcedeth is already included [no need for a patch]. But it's easy to miss it in the list.

Device drivers -> Networking support -> EISA, VLB, PCI and onboard controllers

"Reverse engineered nForce ethernet controller (EXPERIMENTAL)"

Note: for some reason on my machine this appears in the list of drivers between 'Broadcom 4400' and 'CS89x0'...
