Newbie: Asus A7N8X-E Deluxe BIOS question
Hi,
I think I have Award 6.0 BIOS with my A7N8X-E Deluxe mobo. Can you "disable" the built-in LAN on this mobo via the BIOS ? Can you configure the NIC card at all on this BIOS ? Thanks so much in advance. Steve -- Using Opera's revolutionary e-mail client: http://www.opera.com/m2/ |

I am having trouble getting Mandrake 9.2 OS to work with my mobo. The NIC card is being recognized but I cannot configure it correctly for either a direct connection to my cable modem or a connection to my D-Link router. Any suggestions about the BIOS or otherwise ? Thanks again. -- Using Opera's revolutionary e-mail client: http://www.opera.com/m2/ |

There is a patch available that allows the Linux OS to recognize this NIC and work with it. The patch is something "sk98lin". |

Ok, another dumb newbie question: how do I insert the patch into the kernel during installation ? I need a step by step explanation, being a newbie. Thank you so much for your time.
