Onboard Gigabit NIC Drivers for fedora core 5

[vishnu vardhan reddy]

Hi, 
Thanks for your info. I already tested on Fedora8, it is working fine. Before loading Fedora 8 i tried loading kernel modules of lated kernel 2.6.25 on fedora core 5. but it didn't work for me. 
Is there any chance to get drivers for fedora core5.
Thanks & Best Regards
Vishnu Vardhan Reddy

I agree that you should be running a newer version of Fedora, FC8 would 
be a good choice.  But you should also learn a little about the kernel 
and how it works.  You should be able to get the driver for that card at 
the OEM of the motherboard and load it into the kernel as a module.  
Here's a good howto:
