Hi,

Can somebody please tell me what NIC is onboard the K8N? Running Slack
10.0, it doesn't recognize the NIC.

Thanks,

Huub

Yes, it tells me "chipset built-in MAC with external PHY 10/100 Mbps
Ethernet", which doesn't say anything to me. What brand and type of
chipset? PHY doesn't say anything specific.

The manual says it's an " Ic Plus IP101 10/100 Lan PHY ".

It's an nForce nvnet NIC. All set now.

Actually, if it's the nVidia you're after:

modprobe forcedeth

If that fails, you'll need to either build it in the kernel or as a
module. (nForce reverse engineered).

Did you get my 2 previous posts?

Anyway, not sure whjy everybody is telling you what the physical layer
chip is, completely useless.

Anyway:
http://usa.asus.com/prog/spec.asp?m=K8N-E%20Deluxe&langs=09

"Chipset NVIDIA nForce3 250Gb"
"Gigabit LAN - Chipset built-in Gigabit MAC"

I thought the OP had a K8N, not a K8N-E Deluxe.

Yes, but I have a K8N, 100Mbit NIC. The "nForce"-LAN was not mentioned
in the specs.

My bad.

http://usa.asus.com/prog/spec.asp?m=K8N&langs=09
"Chipset NVIDIA nForce3 250"
"LAN chipset built-in MAC"

Guess that makes no difference then.
