[gentoo-user] nForce4 eth driver not working...
Hi, I have a strange problem with my motherboard (nForce4 chipset): Installation CD finds eth0 and brings it up (with whatever driver). Now I'm trying to compile my kernel, and even if I select all gbit ethernet cards, it does not work: * Starting eth0 * Bringing up eth0 *192.168.1.10 *network interface eth0 does not exist *Please verify hardware or kernel module (driver) [!!] lspci shows: 00:0a.0 Bridge: nVidia Corporation CK804 Ethernet Controller (rev f3) MoBo manual says: Nvidia nForce 4 built-in Gigabit MAC with external Marvell PHY What should I select in kernel config to have this ethernet adapter supported???

Re: [gentoo-user] nForce4 eth driver not working...
You should have two different ethernet ports on that motherboard, the primary one should use forcedeth, the secondary should use the new marvell yukon phy driver, make sure those are compiled into your running kernel.
