I have recently installed SuSE Linux 9.0. Installation went fine but there seems to be a problem with my network card. Basically it does not automatically detect my network card. I have a nvidia nforce2 onboard chip. Since SuSE couldn’t recognise the network card I have downloaded the driver(.rpm) and installed it. First it worked fine but when I restarted the computer it gave an error message. When I tipped in modprobe nvnet, got the following error message. linux:/home/turbo # modprobe nvnet /lib/modules/2.4.21-override-athlon/kernel/drivers/net/nvnet.o: unresolved symbol __netdev_watchdog_up_Ra7000325 /lib/modules/2.4.21-override-athlon/kernel/drivers/net/nvnet.o: unresolved symbol eth_type_trans_Rd36c0dd3 /lib/modules/2.4.21-override-athlon/kernel/drivers/net/nvnet.o: unresolved symbol skb_over_panic_R9ee181c3 /lib/modules/2.4.21-override-athlon/kernel/drivers/net/nvnet.o: unresolved symbol softnet_data_R6d8f9943 /lib/modules/2.4.21-override-athlon/kernel/drivers/net/nvnet.o: unresolved symbol netif_rx_Rfadb88b1 /lib/modules/2.4.21-override-athlon/kernel/drivers/net/nvnet.o: unresolved symbol alloc_skb_Rdee41f6c /lib/modules/2.4.21-override-athlon/kernel/drivers/net/nvnet.o: unresolved symbol __kfree_skb_Raebda71a /lib/modules/2.4.21-override-athlon/kernel/drivers/net/nvnet.o: Hint: You are trying to load a module without a GPL compatible license and it has unresolved symbols.

Thank you in advance NoviceW

Did you just upgrade your kernel? The rpm package contains a kernel module (which you load using modprobe), and It is kernel version specefic. It only works for a kernel it was compiled against. You should either install from the source package (which you will build yourself using _your_ kernel headers), or you can download a version for your kernel. I think the problem you're having is because you're using using an "athlon optimized" kernel. You should download the drivers for _your_kernel_version_ else they will _not_work. your kernel version is: 2.4.21-override-athlon
