mgb, you have been around long enough to know that you should try and post a question when you desire help. Without a question it is hard to know what you want. What do you want us to do with the above information?

I know your mother tongue is not English, but please try, for instance using translation tools, to formulate sentences: Help people to help you.

help to fix tne network

[Stefano]

install another (a supported one) eth and disable the onboard one.. or, if you can, install SME8.b6

Thanks for the quick reply
 Is there a chance to correct the problem
 I have the disc of the board with a   Linux installation
 I tried to install
 With make install
 Not accepted the problem messages
 But not working

Is there a chance to correct the problem

If you have enough linux skill, you will be able to fix this problem. If you do not have enough linux skill, then you should follow the excellent advice already provided by Stefano.

The simple answer is that your hardware is not supported by SME 7.5.1.

And as already asked many times, when a program does not do what you expect, please also provide the error message from the program, instead of only saying it does not work. Once again, we want to help you, but we need information to help you and since we can not read your screen or see what you are doing, you need to tell us.

Well that states perfectly what is wrong and what you need to do. You need to install the kernel-devel package for your kernel.

As a word of advice I don't think you should go that route as you seem to be unfamiliar with custom compilation of kernel modules. Apart from that you will have to do this for every kernel update that you will install on your machine. An update without newly compiled drivers will render your network card defunct and useless.

I suggest you follow Stefano's advice and install a network card that is supported out of the box. It will save you a lot of problems and work in the future as servers should be stable, have a high up-time and be as maintenance free as possible.

I've done this in the past
is not so easy - and you could get stuck into any future update (never know)

the "way to do it" was

get the appropriate CentOS install ISO (you-ll use uname -a to check your kernel version)
also the the SME iso
copping this into your hdd
then mounting them into /mnt (after you do all preparations)
create a new repository for local CentOS and local sme pointing on that mounting points
get the appropriate driver for your hardware and install all packages you''ll be asked by your hardware (as you already be told at least in this faze you'll need to pre-install kernel-devel packages - but in my case was not all)

as long as a new supported Ethernet adapter is not "huge budget" (rather chip) I think also this is the more adequate approach for anybody having this problem
( I had to use the other way as long my friend which asked me to help him to set up his sme environment had already bought a new computer which was sealed for warranty and we were not able open it and just plug the new hardware - stupid hardware vendor policy)

Thanks for the response
 I installed SME 8
 Hopefully that will work correctly produced no future problems
 In addition it was necessary to Advanced PHP
 So now working SME 8
 All hardware is detected quickly
 After updating Sorted
 I appreciate the answer
 Sorry about the terrible translation
