Networking :: Nvida nforce issue

Ok i just stared dsl-n for the the first time today but i already found a problem. i dont have the driver for it to see my network card. as my post title says its a nvida nforce and im useing a compaq sr1950nx. im also using the live cd version. how can i get the stuff to get it all to work.
Thanks,

<bump> i realy need to know what to do

First, I need to point out that this is not the dsl-n forum, but rather the dsl forum. DSL-N has its own forum, at http://www.damnsmalllinux.org/dsl-n/f

The driver you need is forcedeth.ko. It is open source and comes with the kernel. Also, you have it. I checked.

Does the following command, run as root, help?

Code Sample

modprobe forcedeth

If not, here are a few links that might help you figure this out.

Here is another post where someone had the same problem as you, but with an older DSL version.
