This is a discussion about EPoX 8RDA+, Red Hat Linux 8.0 (Psyche), and nVidia PR in the Linux Hardware category; ? Has anyone had any luck with this nForce 2 chipset embeded in the EPoX 8RDA+?

? Has anyone had any luck with this nForce 2 chipset embeded in the EPoX 8RDA+? I cant get Ethernet/Sound on it. Drivers from nVidia site are dated 11/5/02. Motherboard's factory BIOS release date is 12/31/02. While nVidia updates the Win32 drivers every month, aparently they dont really update thier Linux drivers. If anyone knows where I can find any I would be more than happy.

Emailed nVidia about this issue they gave me some auto-reply thing (means they dont really care about me cry )

Just Saw Matrix Reloaded *Possible Spoiler*

I'm not quite sure I understand the problem here...

These are the latest nForce2 drivers nVidia have listed on their site:

Have you tried installing them? If they didn't work, what kind of error messages are returned?

If you actually bother to try and install the drivers then there's every chance they'll work. Our friend t0nystump doesn't appear to understand the concept of "reference drivers" and got so worked up with the fact the nV drivers were released before his motherboard I don't think he even tried installing them...
