is that a Vitesse network card? (it might be written on a chip) - if yes, i can tell the solution, had really much headache with it

Field Note #2 @flip360 2008-07-22

Can you give us a qlue for solving the ethernet problems and all of ours headaches will be gone
Much obliged

Author Update #1 @callx 2008-07-22 ↳ Re: @flip360

Vitesse? How can I tell the chipset name? My mobo is Asus Crosshair with nforce 590. In my past attempts at getting osx on it, LAN would be recognized and forcedeth would be loaded (makes sense, recognized by linux as forcedeth too) but then I can never get an address from DHCP, I'm pretty sure it's no problem from router but the driver itself.
