I installed linux (ubuntu) for the first time and am looking for drivers for the Gigabyte EP35-DS3L mobo. There seems to be some files with linux in the title on the driver cd that came with the mobo but I'm not sure what to do with them.

VV Ah, I see, thanks

I have a question about freeBSD is that allowed?

I don't have much *nix experience. This morning I installed freeBSD on a laptop as a trial and the internet on it works. Then I installed it on my desktop and left windows XP as the primary OS. I don't seem to be able to connect to the internet from freeBSD but I can from windows (although for some reason it seems to take a second time in a row booting into windows for it to work, when I switch from freeBSD to windows I can't connect to the internet)

Here's pictures of what I get from ifconfig

laptop, working internet:

desktop, no internet:

I've tried is messing around with the network configuring options under sysinstall for an hour but no avail.

edit: internet is regular adsl w/cat cable to modem

Make sure your /etc/rc.conf has ifconfig_ed0="DHCP" if you are looking for dhcp, static is like any other UNIX machine. Then restart networking with /etc/netstart
I edited that line onto the end of the file, didn't seem to change anything.

Looks like your eth0 is rd0 from what ifconfig is telling you. change that and use netstart
Well it seems to make some recognition of my ethernet card and auto-assigns "re0". How do I change it?

I'm not sure, but I guess I also want to ask the question why would you need to as long as it works? From what I know BSD detects devices with names slightly different from Linux just as Solaris does as well, is this a normal hardwire jack on a motherboard or LAN card?
I thought you just said I need to change it. Yes, normal jack into mobo

Ah, got you.
I fixed it, just had to put in "ifconfig re0 up" heh. Thanks for the help

VV thank you, that's what I was looking for :) It's not too late I'm sure I'll need more help.
