[rastauk2003]

Hi there,

Just installed pen drive linux after a long discussion about a test i would like to try only problem is i cant get the internet working with it. So i have looked at a few threads on related subject and followed some information to find out as much as i can about the issue only problem is now i am unsure on how to fix the problem.

So here is the information if any of you guys can help:

Unable to find network interface for selected device (using forcedeth driver)

the card i am using is not wireless however it is hooked up to a netgear wrg 614 v4 wireless router via a fixed cable.

card detail through linux nvidia corperation unknown device 054c (rev a2)

To me this sounds like a drivver issue only thing is i am new to linux and not sure how to implament a fix for this.

Any help would be much appreciated.

So, you are connected using a regular ethernet card that is pluged into a pic slot in your pc, correct?

If that's the case, please, open a terminal (or just login in text mode, whatever you preffer) as root. You need to run this command as root:

lspci

If you use ubuntu or the like, you might need to run "sudo lspci" instead, as a normal user.

After that, paste here the output for that command, that will help us to identify the network chip you are using, and the correct driver that you will need.

Whether the router is wireless or wired, is completelly irrelevant if you are connecting to it via a regular network cable.
