need HELP installing network card in linux
Hi...
I own a Dell Dimension 9150, and have an integrated network card. I wish to install Fedora Core 4 (a Linux distro).
I was forced to install it in text mode since it didn't recognize my videocard (NV Geforce 6800), and all went fine, I later downloaded and installed the nvidia drivers. But, I can't connect to Internet, it seems my distro does not recognize my network card. Can someone help me out?
I need help on three topics:
1) Where can I look up which network card I have (exactly)?
2) Where can I find the driver for Linux?
3) How can I propperly install it in Fedora?
Help on any of the three topics would be greatly appreciated (except for the third if your answer is "use the network configuration tool", which I already tried, but I don't have the driver... I think).
I've spent all afternoon fighting with Linux (I hate to install it, especially on very new pc's, but love to use it,) and am desperate!!!
Thanks
