Sandy,

Good point. I have a Hawking Technology 10/100 LAN card with the Realtek
8139D chip in my main ASUS A7N8X with the built-in LAN disabled with the
eCS 1.2 last release candidate installed.

So, I just reinstalled a clean copy of the
last-generally-available-release-candidate for eCS 1.2 with my Hawking
Tech LAN card pulled, the install does not see the built-in LAN on the
ASUS A7N8X. I installed a dummy Realtek 8139 driver.

After eCS 1.2 RC installed, I ran NICPAK 20030930 which does not see the
built-in NICs. From prior knowledge, I installed GenMAC v2.0 release 3
20040127 version and I am back on the internet. From my prior post on
this list:

(6) GenMAC is suppose to work on the ASUS A7N8X;
<http://www.os2warp.be/index2.php?name=genmac> ; I am using GenMAC v2.0
release 3 20040127 version. On my ASUS A7N8X deluxe rev2, GenMAC sees the
3COM LAN but not the NVDIA LAN. I did not test GenMAC on the ASUS A7N8X -
its in Claremont and my users do not have internet access at home.

I have emailed you directly you the referenced SCOUG-help prior post for
full details.

Bottom line: for your ASUS A7N8X-E motherboard, try the GenMAC driver.

Regards.

Larry
