68Goat Posted April 15, 2004 Share Posted April 15, 2004 Hey all, 1st, Im some what new to linux, im using Redhat 9. I installed RH9 as a personal computer, defualt partitions. I have a Microsoft MN-130 NIC and RH9 does not install it and it does not have the driver listed when I try to pick a driver from the network properties menu. Is there anything I can do to get this NIC to work on RH9? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kjordan2001 Posted April 15, 2004 Share Posted April 15, 2004 Yeah, Microsoft makes NICs for Microsoft Broadband Network. It uses a Realtek 8139 chipset so use 8139 or 8139too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
