Hi,

I have a strange problem with my motherboard (nForce4 chipset):
Installation CD finds eth0 and brings it up (with whatever driver).
Now I'm trying to compile my kernel, and even if I select all gbit
ethernet cards, it does not work:

* Starting eth0
* Bringing up eth0
* 192.168.1.10
* network interface eth0 does not exist
* Please verify hardware or kernel module (driver) [!!]

lspci shows:
00:0a.0 Bridge: nVidia Corporation CK804 Ethernet Controller (rev f3)

MoBo manual says:
Nvidia nForce 4 built-in Gigabit MAC with external Marvell PHY

What should I select in kernel config to have this ethernet
adapter supported???

Run lspci -k (or lspci -v) from the live CD to see which module it is
using.

Those are my principles. If you don't like them I have others.
