NVIDIA nForce Networking Controller problem

Hi, I am a new user of Solaris and Linux and I am having a problem with my internet connection under solaris.... i was reading other messages in the forum and apparently solaris doesn't detect my network adapter because when i run ifconfig -a it only shows lo0....
I went to nvidia.com but the drivers on their website are only for the graphics card... where can i get the requiered drivers (and how do i install them under solaris) for my internet connection to work???
i have a NVIDIA nForce Networking Controller and connect to the internet using road runner trough a router...
thanks...

Hi,
Same problem here Javisam376, but I am on an AMD x64 platform, and wondered if that might be the reason why the Solaris Express Developer Edition was unable to see the NVIDIA nForce Networking Controller, so I wonder which platform you're on (32 or 64-bits?) A general Google search for "Solaris NVIDIA nForce Networking problem" gave a fair number of hits, so the problem, seems well known, but no solutions were suggested by anybody, as far as I could see(!?)
But it seems the Linux community has the same problem, since I found this posting on LinuxQuestions.org (http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/showthread.php?t=471094):
"I just finished installing Red Hat 9 on my machine, which is running off of an AMD/NVIDIA nForce2 chipset mobo that has integrated ethernet. I was trying to set up my network connection, but was unable to locate the nvida ethernet controller in the Network app/Network Configuration Wizard. So I went on to nvidia's site and downloaded the x86 linux driver (using my other machine) and used a cd to pop it into the other comp... Saved it to the desktop,
then terminaled: sh NFORCE-Linux-x86-1.0-0310-pkg1.run.
It took me through a setup screen where I 'installed a audio and ethernet driver'. I checked the Network wiz again, still no entry for it. So I randomly clicked the hardware browser, and IT lists the 'nForce2 Ethernet Controller' under network devices, but I can't configure it from this screen. Anyway, I would seriously appreciate any help with this. I need to get internet access on this machine quick, so this is drivin' me crazy."

MOVED: nvidia nforce networking controller issue

This topic has been moved to MSI Notebooks & Netbooks.
https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=160268.0

Hi:
The only suggestion I can offer is for you to reinstall the nForce chipset driver which also installs the wired network controller driver.

Nforce network controller

Hi i wonder if anyone can help, this is my first pc build so be gentle with me
Ive built a system around the msi k8n neo platinum and everything seems to fine apart from when i enter device manager there is a ! next to the "nvidia nforce network controller" icon and when i check its properties it says it cannot start.
The the realtek one is fine and thats what im connecting to the internet on now. I've used the live update and let it update all the nforce drivers but it still wont start.
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance
Michael.

I disabled mine as I already have a hardware firewall. Looks like it's good stuff though, I did have it on for a short while but it was conflicting

T41 has Network Controller problem

I was given a T41 2373-7JU that I loaded with XP Pro. My problem is it will not connect to the internet via it's browser. In Device Manager it shows a Network Controller problem and I've been unable to correct this no matter how many different drivers I've tried. Also, how do I tell if there's an internal wireless card inside? It did connect to the internet earlier today using my USB adaptor but now I can't even do that anymore. I've tried a dozen or so solutions without any success so where should I go from here?

Hi and welcome to the forum!
Following are the drivers you need for Ethernet and wifi card (and yes, as per support page there's an internal card installed in your system):-
http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site.wss/document.do?lndocid=MIGR-62922
http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site.wss/document.do?lndocid=MIGR-42683
To install the drivers successfully, you need to run the .exe setups from C:\Drivers.... for each device after the first setup completes.
For ethernet, the setup is in C:\DRIVERS\Win\ETHERNET\PRO1000\Win32 and for wifi C:\DRIVERS\WLLANCSC.
Hope this helps.

Nvidia nForce Network nic (nge driver) not recoginzed

I have a Transtec Senyo Machine on which I installed Solaris 10 6/06. It does not recognize the Network.
It has a NVIDIA� Quadro� NVS 210 chip set with NVIDIA� nForce� 430B NIC. The nge module gets not loaded, upon boot, and I have of course nod /dev/nge
Any idea on how to track this down?

I installed the third-party ngo driver providec by Masayuki Murayama of Japan

Download file http://homepage2.nifty.com/mrym3/taiyodo/nfo-2.6.3.tar.gz, and carefully follow directions in file README.txt.
The instuctions are terse for those new to Solaris, so here's a (unsupported) script to help.
First create file /etc/hostname.nfo0 or (if using NWAM in OpenSolaris) add line "ngo0 dhcp" to /etc/nwam/llp or line "ngo0 192.168.0.2" (where you replace 192.168.0.2 with your IP address).

To find out if your network card is supported, get the PCI id from prtconf -pv
For example, my card is pci10de,ab0 (nVidia MP 79 Ethernet 10/100/1000).

SM bus and network controller problem

Hi,
I have the above notepad but I cannot connect to the Internet.
In the device manager it shows yellow triangles with a "!" for :
- network controller
- SM Bus Controller
Where can I find the drivers for them?
I tried to put several drivers.
But most of the time a message came saying : "this computer does no meet the minimum requirements for installing the software"
Can anyone help ?
Thanks in advance.

T42 Ethernet and Network controller problems

I am fairly new to computers and obtained a T42 for my grandson. Please bear with me as I am rather Techno challenged and battled now for 2 days getting internet connection. Had to do a clean XP SP2 installation and landed up with a host of Other devices issues with Yellow Question marks. Have downloaded most drivers from http://support.lenovo.com/en_US/downloads with various success. Need serious help here please.
In Device manager I am sitting with two unresolved issues under Other Devices
Ethernet Controller PCI\VEN_14E4&DEV_167D&SUBSYS_05771014&REV11\4&111A1FD8&0&00E0
AND
Network Controller PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_4224&SUSYS_1011808&REV_05\4&AD1B67F&0&10F0
I have downloaded various drivers but still cannot get them to work. Not sure which of the drivers to use.
In another forum somebody replied
The Intel PRO/1000 is an ethernet controller. Once you get that installed and establish a network connection, you can download and install MS dotnetfx and Lenovo System Update which will download and install all the other drivers automatically. Or just download them yourself and manually install them.
Not very helpful as I could not figure ou thow to install as the drivers that I downloaded did not fix this and no further help from them when I questioned this
Please if someone here will give us some step by step directions. The model is 2373-L77 if that will help
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Please find the installation instructions on the linked pages. Executing the downloaded packages extracts them only to C:\DRIVERS\WIN\xxx.
Starting there you'll need to execute the setup as described on the download page.

Nvidia nforce network issues with XP

Hello,
I was wondering if anyone could either confirm or indeed help.
I have got 36 new nvidia imacs (new education model) and have boot-camped (v2) them and running xp sp3. I have joined them to a Windows server 2003 domain. I have deployed software using Group Policy. The problem is all of the nvidia imacs fail to obtain the deployed software and indeed any group policies assigned to the computer part of the policies.
To test i have assigned the same policies to an OU where the older intel (white edu) imacs that we have are stored. These are successful straight away on 2nd reboot after a gpupdate /force command is run. These work as expected.
There are also problems when the nvidia machines start up. Once they get to the login window in XP if you try to login immediately you get a domain unavailable error suggesting that the connection is just too slow. This would also result in the group policies failing as they do if this is the case.
Also on the mac side they seem to take longer to obtain an IP address for connecting to the OD and AD servers for network logins and also can drop network connections randomly resulting in networked-based accounts on OS X being left in limbo and also disconnecting from shares in Windows.
I have tried changing the dchpmediasense setting in the registry as well as the gptimouepolicy setting also. Both had no effect.
Overall I'm not really very impressed with the nvidia chipset and for this sort of environment i think the Intel chipsets should be used as do other people that have worked with Nvidia network drivers.
TIA.

NETWORK CONTROLLER PROBLEM IBM R50E, SYSTEM MODEL 1834EA6

DOES ANYBODY KNOW, WHERE CAN I DOWNLOAD THE DRIVER WITH THIS MODEL? THANKS...

Hi
I found the link I used through my history page.
remember i am using windows 2000 operating system and this worked for me.
If it doesnt work you could try similar toshiba models for the sdformat drivers, i found some under toshiba satelite pro-try different ones- you might get lucky- i did alot of trial and error to get mine working.
Anyway i got the file from toshiba ca website on this link, cant remember how i got there:
http://209.167.114.38/support/download/files_downloads/s2410/s241bxsd.exe
I unzipped the file then ran the .exe file, once this was done the base system came up as :
toshiba sd card controller type a
Then I selected it to update drivers and selected the s241bxsd folder and it found the .inf file
the sd card works a treat- picks up the sdcard as a removable drive.
Good luck.

Compiled Driver for Nvidia Nforce

Hello,
Does anyone know where we can find a compiled Linux driver for the Nvidia
Nforce ethernet controller. We are trying to image new computers. We
have downloaded the drivers from the Nvidia website, but are unable to
extract/install the files from the file. Is it possible to compile the
driver/file from a computer running Windows?
Any help would be appreciated
Thanks

No network controller driver for Portege R500 (Windows XP)

Hello
I don't quite understand why Toshiba does not provide the necessary drivers to make a new Portege R500 WLAN work. I have absolutely no wireless networking capability, as if the switch was turned off, and I have a yellow question mark in the Windows Device Manager ("Other devices", "Network Controller"). Windows does not find a driver on the two restoration CDs and trying to install everything from http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/wlan/?page=downloads doesn't help neither.
Has anybody managed to find drivers to correct this "Network Controller" problem for an R500 under Windows XP? Maybe my unit has a hardware defect, because I can't believe that WLAN support for XP is not provided out of the box or at the very least by downloading files on the Toshiba support site
Thank you
Olivier

Hello
Reading your posting one thing is strange for me. Can you please explain to me what you mean with: Windows does not find a driver on the two restoration CDs.???
As far as I know restoration CD/DVD is not a kind of driver collection but recovery image that you can use for clean operating system installation. Can you please tell me which restoration (recovery) CDs you have? Are both of them for one operating system or you got one for Vista and other for WXP.
I have checked Toshiba support page and there is listed WLAN driver version 11.5.0.32 / 9.0.4.37. Download it and unzip the driver files and before you start installation check readme.txt file at first.
By the way, for WXP installation please use Installations Instructions document and follow listed installations order.

Nvidia Networking Controller Drivers in Vista BootCamp ????

I have installed Vista 32bit in BootCamp 3 on my new 13" Macbook Pro, all seemed fine but for some reason, Vista does not recognise the Nvidia Networking Controller driver installed from the bootcamp drivers, it says it failed to load the driver when checked in Device Manager.
Also, I have problems which I think relate to the Broadcom Wireless driver too. Signal strength when running in Snow Leopard is full bars, no problems. But when booted into Windows the wireless signal strength is one bar and oh so poor.
I have to move within a couple of meters of the router to get a good signal.
What is wrong with these drivers ???? i thought Apple supported Vista ????
I have read elsewhere of people suffering at the hands of the poor Broadcom driver, is there any update from Apple for this, or does anyone know of a new version of the drivers from Broadcom at all that give better performance ???
Same with the Nvidia driver, anyone know what to do about that, Apparetnly you can't just go to Nvidia and download the Nforce from there as the Apple OEM drivers are different and I dont even know which Nforce version the laptop uses anyway.
Please Help - Going Insane - Grey - And VERY bald!!!

Anyone have any ideas about this at all ????
I have updated bootcamp to 3.1 now but nothings changed. I did switch on Afterburner, disabled low power consumption and also changed the driver to use b/g/n auto which has helped slightly but not dramatically. As I have said OSX runs full signal so I know theres no router signal issue.

NVIDIA nForce MCP Networking Adapter #2

Hello,
i got a funny little cosmetical detail i need help with.
I removed all nforce drivers and reinstalled them. Then i got 2 valid NIC's:
- 3com 3c905b #2 and
- NVIDIA nForce MCP Networking Adapter #2
I got numbered network cards.
I learned how to remove this. (usually) You just have to set "SET DEVMGR_SHOW_NONPRESENT_DEVICES=1" then you are able to list all devices in device manager. Just delete ALL NIC's and reboot. Now you got unnumbered NIC'S.
I was able to do so in almost all machines i had to work with... Until now.. the Nforce MCP device refuses to accept my treatment. I am not able to remove the numbering scheme. It is just a cometical issue, but if anyone got a solution, i'd be glad to hear it..
Thanks,
Andy

Andy,
I am guessing you are using WinXP. I have seen the same problem. If you move the Nic from one PCI Slot to another it will do the same thing too.
The solution I have found was doing another install of WinXP in the same Directory without formatting, so you only lose the data in the /windows directory.
Not what you want to hear I know.

NVIDIA nForce System Management Controller: Windows 7 driver?

I have a Fujitsu Siemens PC, Amilo Desktop Pi 3630 A, running Windows Vista Home Premium 32bit,
which I would like to update (preferably without reinstall) to Windows 7.
When I checked Fujitsu's website and also by mail contact, I only got the response
"Your system is not certified for Windows 7"!
So I ran "Microsoft Windows 7 Upgrade Advisor", which said that I can upgrade!
The only issue is that it requires an update to the driver for the
"NVIDIA nForce System Management Controller" [current version is 5.1.2600.158],
but Microsoft directs me to THIS site.
Here I search for a suitable driver for my motherboard, which according the tech spec's is
MB MS-7504PV (or MS-7504VP-PV) with chipset NVIDIA nForce 630i,
but no luck there. The MSI Live Update Online plug-in does not find anything on my Mainboard.
Over at NVIDIA's site I can find a driver for nForce 630i but only paired with GeForce 7xxx,
and I don't think I need a complete motherboard driver package.
Where can I find the correct driver?
Or do I dare try a Windows 7 update anyway?
What can go wrong?
PC: Fujitsu Siemens Amilo Desktop Pi 3630 A
CPU: Intel Core 2 Quad Q8200 2.33GHz
M-board: Fujitsu Siemens / MSI MB MS-7504PV, muATX, v1.1, Socket 775
Chipset: NVIDIA nForce 630i MCP73PV
BIOS: AMI v3.0S
Video: NVIDIA GeForce 9600 GT
LAN: nForce Realtek RTL8211
OS: Windows Vista Home Premium 32bit

You do not have an MSI Retail Product but a mainboard produced exclusively for the OEM Market. Neither MSI nor this forum provides end-user support for OEM products. That is also why MSI Live Update does not find anything for this particular platform (OEM). You need to contact Fujitsu Siemens for assistance (and this include BIOS Updates and drivers).
