the bdi-4.38 install went well for me, except networking. in the past i have used the NFORCE drivers from nvidia to get the network card to work.
Thats not required. There is a working, reverse engineered, nforce2 driver for that, called 'forcedeth' in the kernel config, all you have to do it turn it on and build it.
Arrrgg... Missed the fact it was NetWork drivers, not the video driver. Apologies for the Homer moment. CC=gcc-2.95 sh NFORCE-Linux-x86-1.0-0310-pkg1.run --kernel-source-path=/usr/src/linux-headers-2.6.12.6-rtai --kernel-output-path=/usr/src/linux-headers-2.6.12.6-rtai compiled the nvnet.ko module for me. As Gene pointed out, there is a GPL n/w driver already in the kernel - Even better, it is already compiled as a loadable module in the 2.6.12.6-rtai package. Look for forcedeth.ko in /lib/modules/2.6.12.6-rtai/kernel/drivers/net Regards, Paul. -- From the Klingon book of C: Klingon function calls do not have 'parameters' - they have 'arguments' - and they ALWAYS WIN THEM.
