    Via Rhine 11 fast ethernet adapter

    It's me again, Suse 11.0 noob. Suse 11.0 does not recognise my ethernet adapter so I am unable to connect to the internet. The driver is listed as Via 3.67.0.452 (on my windows section) how can I get connected to the internet please? Any help or advice gratefully accepted. When I ran Mandriva 2008 my internet connection was picked up straight away, just for information. Thanks again.

    I think that network controller probably uses the via-rhine module.

    You can check to see if the module is already loaded by running the following command from the command line:

    Code:
    lsmod | grep via-rhine
    If it's not loaded, you can try these commands to load it:

    Code:
    su -
    
    modprobe via-rhine
    You'll probably need to restart your network for the newly loaded module to work. If needed, you can try putting the module in your /etc/modprobe.conf file so that it loads automatically at boot time.
