If the machine's with the client, have the client run lspci and lspci -n
, and post the results. The PCI list for forcedeth in 2.6.19.2 (latest
stable version) lists a lot of vendor and device IDs. You need to
figure out whether the vendor and device IDs for your card are present
in forcedeth. If not, you need to talk to the forcedeth maintainer. If
they are, you need to check through dmesg for anything the forcedeth
module reports. Do that anyway and post what you find.

Absolutely correct, but if the vendor is not listed, i could ask people maintaining the forcedeth driver to include it, the problem is that meanwhile (and i say this not to hurry in any way the programmers nor to criticize -the critics, in case, should go to the hardware manifacturer-, only to be practical and solve the problem) i could (and will probably...) simply disable that weird onboard nic, configure a nice 10euro rtl8139 and the client's machine will live happy that way.

It's a testing, just downloaded.

...tells us very little. "uname -a" is what we're looking for here.

Yes, i will do this as soon i reach the client's machine, (which is at the moment running windosw)...

I [tried] to modprobe and the module loads, but no [networking is]
possible. Perhaps playing with parameters could work.

There are no parameters for forcedeth that are useful AFAICT.

Meanwhile thanks for now.
