Please, attach output of 'hwinfo --netcard' Ok, here it is:

Hmm, hwinfo reports "forcedeth" for the device but is looks like "sk98lin" would be the right one (see comment #0) The nforce 4 problems were (hopefully) fixed in rc4. You can verify that with the final 10.0, which should be available by now (or very soon) or with the already released 10.1 alpha. |
I have a new Gigabyte GA-8N-SLI Pro motherboard with the NVIDIA nForce 4 chipset with the MCP-04 south bridge. This chipset has a gigabit Ethernet port built-in, attached to a Marvell PHY. When installing OpenSUSE 10.0 RC1 from CDs, this ethernet adaptor is not auto-detected, and the system is not set up for it. If I manually select the "sk98lin" device driver, it works as expected. Here's some lines from dmesg: NFORCE-MCP04: IDE controller at PCI slot 0000:00:0f.0 ACPI-0212: *** Warning: Device is not power manageable NFORCE-MCP04: chipset revision 162 NFORCE-MCP04: not 100% native mode: will probe irqs later NFORCE-MCP04: 0000:00:0f.0 (rev a2) UDMA133 controller forcedeth.c: Reverse Engineered nForce ethernet driver.
