Network card installation problems

[DIMonS]

I am trying to install an Intel Pro/1000 GT Desktop Nic that was not picked on installation as a second LAN card.

I have tried following the Linux Instructions that came with it and cannot compile with make or make install as ebox reports "-bash: make: comand not found."

My limited *nix knowledge quickly ran out.  Grateful if you someone could point me in the right direction on how to get a compiler installed .....

Hello,
  the make utility is not installed in the base eBox installation because  development tools usually aren't needed in servers.

Before compiling your driver be sure that is not already shipped (you can use the command 'modinfo <module name>' for this).
If yo uare sure you need to build the driver you will need to install the make program, the gcc compiler and some more packages.

In addition to the above info, you may add the following line to "/etc/apt/sources.list":

Code: [Select]

deb http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian sarge main contrib non-free

Save the file and then prompt these commands:

Code: [Select]

$ apt-get update
$ apt-get install make gcc

   All sorted.  Everything works so much better when the card is seated correctly 

Thankyou all for the replies.

make and gcc are software development tools and were requested here to try to compile a module . By themselves they don't  make any hardware work.

And for the problem itself, let me quote the other Javier in this board:

eBox doesn't do anything weird to the interfaces. If ifconfig doesnt list an interface eBox won't see it.

Most of the eBox packages have been ported to the next ubuntu version: 8.10 hardy. You should experience fewer hardware issues with that system. Although it's not stable yet.
