Have you compiled them using make, then make install? Afterwards, run kudzu or simply reboot to detect the integrated NIC.

I run this on my SuSE 9 box. Here's what I did to get things going:
After installing the driver(s) (I used the rpm) I opened /etc/modules.conf in a text editor as root and added these 2 lines:
alias eth0 nvnet
options nvnet optimization=1
I saved and closed the file and ran modprobe nvnet from a root prompt. You may get a warning about signatures but it can be ignored.
In SuSE I configured my nic with YaST2 but RH uses netconfig, I believe. Where it asks for what module, use nvnet.

hey lynch, i have suse 9 and i installed the rpm and when i went into modules.conf


where exactly do i add those two lines you mentioned? anywhere?

plus is there a way to get my two back speakers to work?

I'm not at my SuSE box ATM, but here's my MDK 9.1 modules.conf file:

probeall scsi_hostadapter ide-scsi
above snd-via82xx snd-pcm-oss
alias eth0 8139too
alias sound-slot-0 via82cxxx_audio
probeall usb-interface usb-uhci

Anywhere with the other alias listings should be ok.
The back speaker thing I cant say; dont have surround speakers hooked to any of my boxes.
