[newbie] Ethernet Card Problem...

[Michael Haney]

Hi all!

I really love Linux-Mandrake, I used to use RedHat 6.1, but this distribution is so much better.

---

I am having a trouble with my Intel PRO/100+ Management Adapter, its a 10/100Mb ethernet card with a feature that allows a remote server boot the system via a cable connected from the NIC to the motherboard.  I downloaded the Linux drivers for the card from www.intel.com and followed the instructions to install the drivers.

---

What I did was...

Extracted the files...

Ran make

Ran isnmod <modulename>

Ran make install

Ran Modprobe <modulename>

and got no errors.

When I boot I get a 'failed' message when eth0 is being initialized.

The module appears in the config files but so does the other module the system ASSUME the card was the first time I install it.

Can anyone please help?
