Hi everyone,
I am setting up a NAS server for a friend of mine and am using Centos 5 for the OS. The motherboard is a ASUS p5q pro motherboard that has an attansic L1 NIC that doesnt seem to work under Centos 5. I have installed an old INTEL 82557 10/100 card in the machine that works fine however my friend want Gigabit Ethernet speed. I am looking to see what cards work on this machine he doesnt want to spend too much more money as he has already spent $2000 on a 8 Hotswap RAID 5, Intel Dual core server with Adaptec SAS/SATA raid controller card in it and has blown his budget. Can anyone advise what generic NIC's work on Centos 5 ie DLINK, NETGEAR, RealTek, Broadcom SMC. Or is there a HCL of what is supported on Centos 5 as far as NICS are concerned. Any help would be greatly appreciated Thanks ikhan42 |

Please check the Vendor:Device ID pairing returned by the following command -- -- with those listed on the Device IDs page at ELRepo. You may find that the kABI tracking kmod-atl1 package will be appropriate for your NIC. |

Allanjbartlett,
Thanks for the reply the following was the output from the command 05:00.0 Ethernet controller: Attansic Technology Corp. L1 Gigabit Ethernet Adapter (rev b0) I have looked at the link at ElRepo but the number returned is totally different to what Elrepo has listed. The format on Elrepo is 0000:0000 does this output make any sense to you ? Thanks again for your help ikhan42 |

There are five in total -- three for the 32-bit architecture and two for the 64-bit architecture. The correct version is the one that matches the system's architecture (32- or 64-bit) and kernel type (standard, xen and -- if 32-bit -- PAE). To decide upon the correct package to install, you would look at the output of an uname -rmi command.  Quote:
