I don't have any personal experience to offer, but have read that support for Nvidia network chips is surprisingly poor under Linux. Some have resorted to switching to a cheap (but supported) add-in network adapter.

Try

Code: Select all

sudo modprobe -r forcedeth
sudo modprobe forcedeth msi=0 msix=0

[MichaelD]

I tried the first one and the computer froze then I tried the second and it did nothing

[JeremyB]

That is the usual fix for those old cards, could try it another way

Code: Select all

echo "options forcedeth msi=0 msix=0" | sudo tee /etc/modprobe.d/forcedeth.conf

Reboot

[MichaelD]

I did it it said options forcedeth msi=0 msix=0 then I reboot it and there was no difference

[MichaelD]

Does the IRQ handler for vector means anything for my problem?
