Load Video and network card driver

[ashley75]

I am new and with Linux, I have a quick question.

After I install Linux on the server and assume I have the driver for video card and network card. How can I load them to the server??? and where do I need to go to add this server to the domain on the network ???

Thanks

You mean linux server can't detect your video card driver and network card driver.
Have you try use Xconfigurator to configure your video card ?
You can run this command :
# Xconfigurator --expert
From this command, you can see all the video driver.
For network card driver, you can check from /lib/modules/<your linux kernel version>/kernel/drivers/net.
Example : 3com network card (3c501.o, 3c509.o,etc)
All the network card drivers are there.
You can use insmod command.
For more detail information, you can check :
# man insmod
The manual will help you how to add the network card driver.
Normally you installed linux server.The Linux server already detected video card and network card.
What's the file format from your video card driver and network card driver do you have ?
You can extracted the file if the drivers are in .tar or .rpm.
# tar -xvf driver-file
# rpm -ivh driver-file

What's domain do you want to join ?

Good luck.
