Because the network card is not recognized (ifconfig does not show it). A few minutes ago I found a driver (SRPM) on the HP site which I compiled and installed. After restarting the network service the network card (eth2 in my case) is shown. I would be glad to avoid own driver compilation, but I don't know how to activate the network card without it. If this is RTFM, please point me to the document. thanks Markus > -Connie Sieh > >> x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux >> >> The network card is this: >> >> lspci | grep NetX >> 03:00.0 Ethernet controller: Broadcom Corporation NetXtreme II BCM5708 >> Gigabit Ethernet (rev 12) >> 07:00.0 Ethernet controller: Broadcom Corporation NetXtreme II BCM5708 >> Gigabit Ethernet (rev 12) >> 08:00.0 Ethernet controller: NetXen Incorporated NXB-10GCX4 10-Gigabit >> Ethernet PCIe Adapter with CX4 copper interface (rev 25) >> >> Should I obtain a driver SRPM and compile myself or is there a >> better way? >> >> thanks in advance, >> Markus >> >> >
