What module?

I search around in here and it seems that a lot of people have difficulties to find the right ethernet driver!

Well, so am I.

I did an ftp install and everything worked fine then.

I don't know what kind of a card I have but it's a Packard Bell laptop
and they usually use NEC stuff.

I am really looking forward to play around with Pacman.
He was awesome during the base install!!!!

What do you mean Mr Green?

Is that a driver or a command?

Yeah!!!!

It's a Via Technologies VT6102 [Rhine-ll] (rev 51)

Oki, but which driver?
I'm going through the install cd right now and there is over 50 to chose from!!

Mr Green · 2004-04-23 16:16:47

Just doing a google you could try

modprobe via-rhine

Mr Green

xerxes2 · 2004-04-23 16:16:49

I found it, sorry!!

Hope it works!!

Thanks Green!!

Mr Green · 2004-04-23 16:19:20

I am glad

I need to lay down now

Mr Green

xerxes2 · 2004-04-23 20:24:27

Thanks again Green!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

After some trouble setting up xfree and kde everything is working.

Arch is truly amazing,.. no more Mandrake for me.

In two days I've learned more about linux than I did in two years in the mdk/suse camp.

KDE is really great but I've noticed,in Mandrake, that 3.2 series have been slow and a little unstable.

Anyone else has these feelings?

Take a nap now Green, you really deserved it!!!!
