NIC detection


Recommended Posts

Guest alonsoac

I have the exact same motherboard and had the same problem with detecting the network card. According to the manual it is a Realtek PCIExpress 8101E. I did 2 things, first enabled PCI Express support in the kernel which I did not have. Second I enabled the Realtek 8169 module which is in the gigabit section. Recompile, reboot. Then: modprobe r8169 . Now it works. I added a line with r8169 to /etc/modprobe.preload

I suppose you could also compile the r8169 not as a module but into the kernel and not do the modprobe stuff.
