Installing Amahi with Realtek 8111DL LAN Chipset
Posted: Wed Apr 28, 2010 12:14 pm
Hello Everyone! This is my first post to the Amahi forums. Many thanks to everyone who has worked so hard on putting Amahi together and supporting the community, I am very excited to make use of it!
I have heard that Fedora plays nice with Intel LAN chipsets, and so I bought an Intel 510MO (Atom 510) mobo simply assuming that it would have an Intel LAN chipset. Wrong! It features the Realtek 8111DL chipset. I think I the correct found Linux drivers for this Chipset on the Realtek page here: http://www.realtek.com/downloads/downlo ... wn=false#2
My question is this: Because Amahi is installed by pulling the data across the net during the standard Fedora 12 install, what will happen if the Fedora 12 doesn't support this LAN chipset right away? If I have to install the realtek drivers after installation of Fedora, will I still be able to install Amahi? Do I need to do anything special during installation?
I have never used Fedora, and have only a bit of experience with Linux when using recent builds of Ubuntu, so simple answers would be much appreciated!
My setup:
Intel Atom 510 (Intel D510MO mobo)
Realtek 8111DL LAN Chipset
1 gb ddr2 800
1.5 tb WD green HDD
Thanks in Advance!
