New netword card

Well first of all i'd like to say hi to all linux uers =] i am new here, and im new to linux too, been using it has my server for less then a week now, my friend gaved me a HUGE lift to install it, so i thought id give him a break by checking forums for help ^^

anyway, to get back to my troubles. I have bought a second netword card, since i will be using a switch + router i need to use another network card to transfer at 1000mbps =], but yeah the thing is that my server wont detect my network card, i have tried recompiling, but it didn't do anything, i have also tried

Quote:

ifconfig eth1 up

since my main eth is 0, if i am right my second network card should be eth1 :P anyway, its a D-link DGE 530T, i know its compatible, because its the same as my first one PLUS it says that it is compatible with linux kernel 2.6 =]

thanks for reading, hope someone can help me :) if you have any question on my server lemme know, ill answer asap :P

Hello and Welcome.
Post the output of this command(as root) to find out which chipset is installed on the cards.

Code:

lspci -v |grep -i net

If that doesn't work then just post then entire output of

Code:

lspci -v

Next post the output of this command to find out which modules are being loaded.

Code:

lsmod

The above command could possibly post a large output.

Thanks =]

***dam, this is kinda long, plus there is no spoiler on this forum =\

You have the correct modules loaded, forcedeth for the nvidia and skge for the DGE-530T.
Now all you should need to do is either set the connection with a network tool like Wicd or Network manager OR set this all by hand, as described in the Gentoo handbook.

sorry for the delay between posts xD, i had to hit the bed :P anyway, thanks for bothering to help =]

Bump~ sorry, but can anyone help me ? =S i need some help with my network card >_< it tried couples of things but it didn't work, like i said im somewhat a noob at it, but tell me what to do and i can do it XD

Sorry, I've not had any experience with using more than one network card at once....I don't know what you need to do to accomplish that.

ok =S thanks though
