net card not detected

Post by abd_bela » 2014/11/19 09:02:45

Hi,
I installed centos7 on my Dell desktop machine, but the net card is not detected at all.
ifconfig gives only lo
strange while all other distro I used in the same machine ( debian, ubuntu , debian-like, ...) detect the card.
Here is the result of lshw ( by the way no such command on centos, which is the command doing the detection of hardward ??)

how to fix the problem
thanks a lot

lshw -C network

Support for various 100Mb ethernet cards was removed by Redhat from RHEL7 and that includes the nVidia chipset that you have. If you google ELRepo then you should be able to find that they supply a kmod-forcedeth package for el7 that you can manually download, transfer to the machinevia USB stick and then yum localinstall from there.
The future appears to be RHEL or Debian. I think I'm going Debian.

CentOS 5 and 6 are deadest, do not use them.

How do you know, that is nvidia? It is intel, i think. kmod-e100 is the package.

You are correct, I was misreading " product: NM10/ICH7 Family LAN Controller" as being nVidia and it's not.
