Hi there.<br />
<br />
I've got a HP Proliant DL320 server (G2, scsi etc) with two inbuilt HP N7760 gigabit ethernet ports.<br />
<br />
looking at /etc/rc.d/rc.modules, it doesnt appear in there so I dont know how to install/find/locate a driver for it.<br />
<br />
HP tells me it's not supported and that Redhat enterprise 4 will support it.<br />
<br />
Can anyone tell me any different and give me a way out of installing redhat, sticking with slackware 10.1 and <br />
getting my server to actually recognise my HP N7760 network card??<br />
<br />
Thanks very much<br />
<br />

HP Proliant DL320 + HP N7760 gigabit ethernet card + slackware 10.1 = frustration?

A Linux distribution is an operating system made as a software collection based on the Linux kernel and, often, on a package management system and are available for a variety of systems. A typical Linux distribution comprises a Linux kernel, GNU tools and libraries, additional software, documentation, a window system (the most common being the X Window System), a window manager, and a desktop environment. Most Linux systems are open-source software made available both as compiled binaries and in source code form, allowing modifications to the original software. Over three hundred distributions are in active development, including commercially backed distributions (such as Fedora, openSUSE and Ubuntu) and community-driven distributions (such as Debian, Slackware, Gentoo and Arch Linux).

Linux Distributions

The variety of Linux distributions creates myriad issues relating to configuration and operations when computers are networked, not the least of which is the use of various network management applications, some of which are included with specific distributions, while others are standalone applications.
