Re: Ethernet driver module compilation (8139too)

Hi Brian,

I did reboot the machine, and saw that during boot time there is a call to depmod.

I did depmod -ae as you've requested, and here are the results:
 [root@NettGain root]# depmod -ae >chav.dat

Please note that if I manually insmod mii , then the insmod 8139too passes w/o problems .

those unresolved belong to mii.o which was not loaded during the boot

Did you reboot the machine?  Did you do depmod -ae?

Which symbols?  What did the error message say exactly...  What is the
output of depmod -ae with the module installed?
