My NVIDIA ethernet (on mobo) is not recognized...no network, no dhcp. It is recognized at boot in Knoppix and Kanotix. How to configure?

Yes, you need a newer kernel, since ethernet is a new thing for Nvidia.

Thanks,
 
I am using 2.2.  Guess I'd have to do an HD install and update the kernel. Do PCI ethernet cards work ok?  I might be able to find one of those lying around. I also have a small HD put away that would work....download the kernel to a pen drive using my kanotix box so that I don't have to resort to a modem for the download.

2.1b has a 2.4.31 kernel. 2.2 has the 2.4.26 kernel. It was downgraded for recent versions because of some complaints that it didn't work as well with some older legacy equipment.
