Well look on the device in device manager for the ethernet nic and there will be a number for its hardware ids - you can then google for those and see exactly who makes the nic and get the driver direct from them

Yes I know it lists my nic and yours is not -- but you have ! and says unknown right, look on those for the hardware ids so you can lookup the driver for that piece of hardware.

If you find some devices you can not figure out or find drivers for - post the hardware IDs and we can help search and identify.

have fun ;)

I looked at that website - strange, I have seen where companies charge for media sure. You can understand the cost of a recovery CD, etc. But every maker of hardware I have ever looked at, dell, hp, compaq, sony, asus, gateway, ibm, etc.. etc.. all provide the ability to download the drivers for the OSes that are supported on that model. Now if it ships with say XP, they might not list drivers for w7, etc. But that is on you if you move to OS that is not supported by the maker.

These drivers might not be the latest and greatest, and or normally maker tweaked, etc. But at min it gets the hardware working.

Let us know how it turns out - I would suggest once you find the drivers, put them in a safe place - or once you get the machine fully 100% complete take an image so that you can always restore to clean state with all the drivers already installed, etc.

    • Linux 7.1 arrives with an NTFS overhaul and major hardware performance boosts

      By [deXter] · Posted

      I think you meant the "ntfs3" driver, but yes there have been a lot of fixes for it in this release and previous releases, not 100% sure if the issue you mentioned is fixed though. In any case, the new "ntfs" driver in 7.1 doesn't have that issue (at least, no reports of such have come thru), but your kernel needs to explicitly enable support for the new driver first (like how CachyOS kernel has it), and you need to edit your mount points in /etc/fstab to use "ntfs" instead of the other drivers.
    • Epic Games says Unreal Engine 6 will help developers "build content faster" using AI models

      Epic Games says Unreal Engine 6 will help developers "build content faster" using AI models by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Epic Games is rolling out the latest major update to Unreal Engine 5 today, and at the same time, the company also dropped some information on the next-generation version of the product, Unreal Engine 6. This was already revealed a few weeks ago alongside the new Rocket League upgrade reveal. The company says it is combining the features of Unreal Engine and Unreal Editor for Fortnite to create this new version of its popular media creation tool. On top of creating entire games, the new engine will also focus on letting developers operate large-scale live service titles more easily, whether by shipping content into their own ecosystems or into Fortnite. The use of large language models is also mentioned here, with Epic saying it will be a core part of the engine. "We see LLMs, generative AI models, and tools like Claude and Codex playing a central role in helping you build content faster while maintaining the creative control you need," adds the company. Here is the rundown of what's new about version 6 of Unreal Engine: With all these changes to the programming model, portability upgrades, and generative AI integration, Epic says the new version of the engine will "change a lot about how games are made." The company aims to ship Unreal Engine 6 into early access in late 2027, with a full release planned for 12-18 months later. Epic Games also dropped a lengthy blog post about the new Unreal Engine 5.8 update for game developers over here. The release is focused on delivering better performance, customization, and streamlined workflows for development teams. This will be the final major update for this version of the engine before Epic switches to focus fully on Unreal Engine 6's early access launch.

      Watch Louis Rossmann's recent experience on YouTube about trying to get a warranty replacement from Samsung. It's crazy.
    • Nearly half of American adults now use AI, but concerns are also growing

      That is the thing, how many of these people don't realise they are using AI? If they use Google Search they have no choice but to use AI. So yes, maybe half of American adults do use and I expect a lot of Uk adults do to, but I bet most of them don't realise it. Myself, i avoid the rubbish.

      They use FREE AI. They aren't paying for this meme-generating slopware...
