I just built a new computer to run Linux, I decided to use Fedora after 
purchasing the book
" Sams, Teach yourself Red Hat Linux Fedora"
First off let me say the books ok but the install disk were currupt and the 
system wouldnt load, I was able to make a copy off my Windows Xp machine and 
comlpete the install after that with no problems.
It works great except I cant connect to the internet, It doesnt seem to 
notice my  builtin network
card.The card is working as I can connect if I boot into XP. I think I read 
somewhere that its not a problem with the network card drivers but something 
about "nividia MAC" drivers.
This is my setup:
Biostar Mainboard M7NCD-A02
nForce2 400/MCP,socket a
CPU is AMD Athlon XP 2200+

I think the network slot  a Realtek RTL 8201 BL PHY
Can anyone help???
