Support For My NIC? (NVIDIA Corporation MCP73)

[worldaccordingtojohn]

Hello, I was running with this NIC fine with 6.5. I installed 7 and nothing. No support. I've Googled around and come up empty. Anyone know where I can find a driver for my NVIDIA MCP73? Thanks -- John

ELRepo, kmod-forcedeth.

Would this be a reasonable place to get the rpm? Do you know of it at all? I'm getting all kinds of untrusted warnings when I go there. Do you know of an alternative location I can grab the rpm from? Thanks.

If you don't like that mirror, then pick another ELRepo mirror

Better yet, go to Get Started for EL7, install elrepo-release and let yum do the leg work.

(But that is rather hard to do without a network connection )

Good grief. I see what you mean about letting yum do the heavy lifting. Yes, you are correct--difficult to do without a network connection. I downloaded the rpm, burned it onto a cd, mounted & ran the rpm. The dependency list is HUGE! I think it may be easier to by another NIC that is supported. Or rob one from another machine temporarily so I can run yum.

Anyone know where I can find a list of supported NICs?

Really? I did a repoquery -q --requires kmod-forcedeth and I only see dependencies listed that ought to be satisfied by the default kernel. What list did you see?

Oh hell. I'm a dork. I have been swapping systems disks around so much trying to get at my data--this is the old OS.

Let me try again with the proper system disk!
