network driver

[matt_symes]

Hi

I'm glad you got it working even if the solution is not ideal.

You can remove the desktop by unistalling it if you want.

As for copy and paste, maybe i should have said 'redirect the output to a file and post that'.

Kind regards

Matt,

Thanks for helping Darren and now me. I have a Shuttle XS36V and in trying to setup 12.04 server found the exact same issues, so reading the thread has been helpful.

Why would a live Mint 10 distro recognize the chipset properly and have no issues and Ubuntu (which Mint is sourced from), fail to provide the current drivers.

Am I missing something here?

Also, why does server's install not include the tools to compile code. I had to go back and install them manually. Now I'm getting make errors, so I'm sure I missed something that is a dependency for something else.

It is hard to fix network things without a network connection to pull packages and knowledge over.

Anyway, thanks again for the help.

Hello,
I had the same problem. Here is the way I fixed it.
1.) download the driver from http://driversworld.us/app/drivers/?id=8202
2.) copy the driver on an USB-Stick
3.) put the USB-Stick in an installed ubuntu-system
4.) mount the usb-stick "mount -t vfat /dev/sdb1 /mnt"
5.) change to the directory /mnt
6.) build the binary-files "make" maybe you have to install
gcc (ssh root "apt-get install gcc") and
make (ssh root "apt-get install make")
7.) change directory (cd)
8.) umount the usb-stick (umount /dev/sdb1)
9.) begin to install the ubuntu-server on your host
10) it stops with the message "can't find network adapter"
11) go back and open a shell
12) put your usb-stick in an usb-slot and mount it (mount -t vfat /dev/sdb1 /mnt)
13) copy your driver-binaries into the lib/modules-directory
(cp -R /mnt/jmebp /lib/modules/3.2.0-29-generic/kernel/drivers/net/
cd /lib/modules/3.2.0-29-generic/kernel/drivers/net/
cp jmebp/jme.ko .
umount /dev/sdb1
exit )
14) now select hardware detect. It's magic "found eth0..."
