I want to install mandrake 9.2 via ftp on my dad's computer. I just picked up a NIC from the store thinking that the mandrake install would pick up the NIC no problem. It says "no net device found." It works in windows fine, so I know it is a driver issue. I wish that I picked up a netgear one, but this was $10. I was wondering that if I could select a generic driver from the list and it would work. If so, which driver?
I've tried to look for compatibility with this NIC on www.mandrakelinux.com, but under "LAN devices," there is no Kingston brand listed. There is no Linux driver listed on Kingston's website. There has to be a way.
