Title: ver7.4 and intel mother board NG43NB
Post by: superlaw on February 24, 2009, 07:28:23 AM

I have used 7.2 with a old box for more than 2 years , rock stable.

Recently I bought a new system using Intel NG43NB as the mother board.  It seems that 7.4 cannot make the onboard NIC to connect to the internet properly. 

I am sure:
1. the onboard NIC is working as i have tested using Ubuntu LiveCD, I can connect to web
2. IP/Net mask/gatway has been configured properly in the admin console.

Do you have any idea ?  or 7.4 cannot work with the onboard NIC ?

THanks.

please post the result of

Code: [Select]

lspci -v
ifconfig

is your mb listed in rh/centos hcl? what about linux compatibility on intel's web site?

and finally, does a search on google for 'NG43NB centos 4' returns something usefull?

If you find that it doesn't work, you should report the problem via the bug tracker.

THanks.

Seems it really doesn't support this onboard GLan.  I have plugged an old 10/100 NIC card and let it run as it.

Thanks again for your help

I Have found if a buy a new MB, I add a few $$$ for a separate PCI realtek 8139C chipset Network card, disable the onboard and install the NIC and get on with it...

I have found sometimes the Intel onboard NIC are just problems..

my 2C worth..
