    Hello,

    I am a green newbie in Linux. I think this is the most important thing to
    mention:)

    Well, here is the problem. I am tring to install Suse Linux 9.1 FTP
    install. It asks me to load the NIC modules as they are not loaded. But i
    have no idea what modules I need to load. Are they in the module list?

    My config :

    P4 2.6 mhz 800 mhz FSB
    512 megs ram DDR333
    floppy
    dvd-cd LG drive
    Plexwriter Premium burner
    1x PATA 120 gig Western Digital HD 8 megs cache
    1x SATA 120 gig Western Digital HD 8 megs cache
    ATI Radeon 9800 Pro
    SBLive Audigy2 ZS
    MSI 875P FIS2R mobo
    D-LINK DFE-530TX NIC - this is the card in question

    I made some research and I found that supposely the tulip module or the
    via-rhine module can do the job. I tried the following : load the tulip
    module and try to install. Same error message : No network device found!
    Please load a network module first. Then I unloaded the module and I made
    the same manipulation with the via-rhine module = same error message.

    I also tried to find a driver for my NIC by making a research under Google.
    Nothing.
    As I have an Intel gigabyte card on-board with my MSI board I thought of
    loading the driver for that one at least for the install. I didn't find any
    info on what module to load or whatever.

    Please help!
    THANKS!
