Hey Kai, I did read the README.txt file and at the end it does indeed talk about compiling the file, and if I knew enough about how all of this works it might have made more sense... What it says is, "For forcedeth.ko, just copy the forcedeth.c and Makefile to the same directory then make it." However there was no Makefile included... so that pretty much ended up stopping me in my tracks there. And I agree that it didn't /seem/ to support my Chipset, but the Realtek Driver which should support it doesn't seem to work either, and on Fedora 8 it is using a newer version of the forcedeth driver so I figured I'd give it a go. I have a feeling I'm going to end up returning this board for a Intel based Chipset and see if I have better luck with that. Thanks for all your assistance, I truly appreciate it.
