SUSE linux 10.1 ETHERNET CARD INSTALLATION ISSUE

[allanx]

Hi -

I would like to seek assistance from you expert out there. I am installing SUSE LINUX 10.1 on my PC and I am now facing a blank wall. I decided to capture the details of my installation and post it here for you to see what was going on.

I checked for the kernel-source:

allan2:/etc/sysconfig/network # rpm -qa | grep kernel-source
kernel-source-2.6.16.13-4 (existing)

I checked for the linux-kernel-headers:

allan2:/etc/sysconfig/network # rpm -qa | grep linux-kernel-headers
allan2:/etc/sysconfig/network # ( no result )

allan2:/etc/sysconfig/network # sudo zypper install linux-kernel-headers
sudo: zypper: command not found
allan2:/etc/sysconfig/network #


I followed the instruction in the READ ME file but unfortunately I got lots of errors as posted above.
Some technical persons were saying that the kernel-source and linux-kernel-headers are not installed. when i checked the kernel-source its there (see above) but the latter one is not.

I am passionate about getting the NIC driver installed in my system for me to be able to connect with other PC through LAN.

I am looking forward to get exact resolution to my current problem.

I thank you in advance

Sorry, I can help just with finding drivers. Not for technical issues ...
