Realtek Lan Driver Windows 10
Lan Driver Windows 7 32-bit
I was unable to get Debian 4.0R3 working with my relatively new MB chipset, but Ubuntu 8.04LTS seems to work pretty well. My only issue at present is that I don't know how to get the onboard gigabit NIC working.
The MB is MSI K9NGM4-F V.2 AM2+/AM2 NVIDIA GeForce 7025 Micro ATX AMD

The onboard LAN is Realtek 8211B. Ubuntu works just fine with an older PCI card (DLink DFE-530TX) installed. But I really want to get the Gigabit LAN going since this system is intended to be a simple Samba fileserver for my SOHO LAN (only necessary because Microsoft screwed the pooch so badly with Windows Home Server and forced me to finally try Linux--a long story for another day).
Anyway, I find very little useful Linux info at the nVidia site for anything other than commercial releases like RedHat and display drivers. The nVidia site, BTW, is still more helpful than MSI which seems to pretend Linux doesn't exist. If the correct advice is to replace this new, but very inexpensive, motherboard with a non-nVidia board, that's OK; my time is far more precious right now than a few bucks and I just need this thing to work.
Hopefully though, I can get some straightforward advice on getting Ubuntu to detect and install the device drivers.
Thanks in advance ...
