Hi,
My mobo's network card's crashed and I was wondering if I'd have to be
weary on which would be the next one I'd have to purchase as far as
Debian compatibility is concerned. Are there ethernet adapters out
there that have incompatibility problems with Debian or Linux in
general? I know that some drivers are not yet available for wireless
interfaces, but I don't know what the case is with ethernet adapters.
Thanks
1. What card is it exactly?
2. What do you mean by 'the network card crashed'?
3. A google search like '$card linux' will likely show you if the card has
drivers and works well with linux.
Hi,
1. My motherboard is an MSI P965 Neo F and, as I didn't feel like
opening my computer case and looking to find the exact model of the
network adapter, I googled a bit and found the following here:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813130052
"and the RTL8110SC LAN card offers unparalleled 10/100/1000 Mbps
Ethernet connectivity."
So I'm guessing that's my network card.
2. I mean that I am unable to even view my router interface from both
my Linux and Windows partition and when I "ping" its default gateway,
I get 100% packet transfer failure. However, when I connect with the
same Ethernet cable from my laptop, everything works fine. So there's
no trouble from either the ISP or the router. (my ISP actually
confirmed that they're not seeing any trouble with my connection from
their end).
3. Agreed.
I was just phoned by a friend who advised me to look for updated
firmware/drivers for my network adapter before I go ahead and purchase
a new one. Sounds like a wise plan, I'll try it and update this.
Thanks

I recommend you try this link only if you're certain that it doesn't
work (eg that the command suggested by Wolodja returns nothing)
