When using 4.4 to install on gigabyte GA-M51GM-S2 motherboard basically an Nforce 410/430 chipset then network is not initially detect to perform a network install. It let me attempt to manually select a driver but I do not see the driver in the list. After installing the network works and the forcedeth driver is loaded. Is there a way to get this driver detected or manually loaded? THanks, jerry

If you are already installed and just need to get the module to start on bootup, just making sure that /etc/modprobe.conf has the right things should work unless there is something required in /dev (maybe a udev rule). -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...

The BIOS for our motherboard (asus A8N-VM-CSM) does not appear to have a switch to make the ethernet appear as an ethernet class device. Dave Thompson UW-Madison

A quick solution might be to find any 10/100 NIC and see if that works instead. I looked and did not find what module to load for the RTL-8211 chip. Regards, Paul
