Ubunt server network card not working :(

[konnorrigby]

Ok so i just downloaded Ubuntu Server 10.04 and i'm very happy with it on my virtual machine... but when i try to install it on my actual server it fails.

When i went to install it, it told me that there was no network hardware detected or something like that. So i just thought i could install a driver for it later.

So other than that all went well. and im very happy but now i dont know how to install my network driver. The card is a LYNKSYS LNE100TX. i downloaded the driver software and burnt it to disk because i was out of floppys. (I like floppys better:)) and when i went to install the software it allmost worked but it said:



make: gcc command not found

I'm assuming that means i need to install gcc but didn't really know how to go about it having no internet. So if someone could help me out here it would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Does this help you?


sudo rmmod tulip
sudo modprobe tulip options=5

This worked for me.

Can you post the output of /etc/network/interfaces please? The fact that you have an eth0 entry at all when you run ifconfig means a network card is detected, so we maybe only have to edit the interfaces file.
