Cant Install Network Card

English Network/Internet
1

openSuse is amazing, lot of features and open source. So i decided to use it rather than MS server.
im new on Linux

I just install openSuse 11.4 on HP Proliant ML150 G6.
I got problem for its VGA, but temporarily i use VESA and its works.

Now, i need to activate the Network Card. Found the driver at hp site the driver for NC107i PCi Adapter
i download the src.rpm and need to build the package.

i got error like this
line 69: Unknown Tag: %internal_kmp_error

please help… spent 6 hours just for it

Thanks

If it doesn’t just work, then it’s likely to a pig.
My inclination would be grab a PCI NIC and use that
Something like a D-Link DFE-530TX

hi caf4926 thanks for your reply,
you’re right, but i still curious on it. what is the error means %internal_kmp_error
do i missed module(s) when install openSuse which might be caused that error?, please help… im newbie

Just a guess: Do you have the linux-kernel-headers package installed to compile against the running kernel? This might be responsible for the error you encountered with luck, but I think Carl’s advice is the most practical.

Its been a while since I had to build a kernel module, so others please correct/confirm: The kernel-devel and kernel-syms packages may be what your after.

Probably you need to install the Pattern
‘Base Development’

Good result. Stick with openSUSE - the learning curve is worth it! :slight_smile:
