I have tried installing 5.1 but it cannot see to onboard Ethernet and seems to get upset running the mouse when the XF86 server starts up for some reason. i have 2 bootable installer discs for 5.1 made from ISO images some months ago. I had a look at the current HARDWARE.TXT in the first disc and the network card is supported so it says" "Intel 82562-based Fast Ethernet NICs" when i get the prompt during installation to configure network connections i only get a sellection of four serial connections PPP & SLIP etc. I remember being given a choice of one NIC as well.... so, does this mean it might be there somewhere? when i run a 'netstat -i' i cant see anything that looks like a NIC. Just serial ports etc. I assume this is only running interfaces, correct? what should i be looking for?
