help in fixing a external hard disk linux install

[aayudh]

Hi,

I have my linux booted from an external USB hard disk. I had this setup for my laptop.

Now I am trying to use the same (without any fresh install) hard disk and set it up for my PC (not using for my laptop anymore).

I am able to boot and also reinstalled my nvidia drivers. So display is fine. But my network/internet eth0 is not working.

Can someone help me in reinstalling ONLY the network driver so that it can work normally ? I am not sure where to start from also !!!

Also can you tell me what other things [drivers..etc] I should probably be worried about to reinstall to have no problems ?

> network driver

well, first you need to know what driver it is.
Try "lspci" and look for a network/ethernet
controller: then if you google the name of that
controller with the keywords "linux driver ..."
you should find something helpful.

perhaps involving ndiswrapper, that's another
story.

then you download the driver and install it.

"modprobe <driver.name>"
