I have downloaded and compiled the Driver (as far as I can tell, new to this distro) but I am having problems getting it to load with the kernel and trying to configure it.

Nor can I figure out how to load it on boot. The instructions talk about using "/etc/modules.conf file" or insmod . Also as I cannot select the NIC I cannot tell if it is set to use DHCP. > > > > >From the readme file > > +++++SNIP+++++++++ > ---SNIP ---- > > +++++++SNIP+++++++ > > > > I use an old computer with Smoothwall on it which provides the DHCP. > > > > Thanks > > Dav > > ----- Original Message ----- From: "eng.Ilia Dulgerov" <ilia@xxxxxxxxxxxx>> > > I had same problem with ASSUS mobo and i found that modprobe sk98lin do > the trick and driver loaded and detected card properly. > nex is ifconfig I assume it is common way to config. > Hope this help > -- > ///eng.Ilia Dulgerov, <office@xxxxxxxxxxxx> > // ph.+359 888 541553 Thanks, Question: what is modprobe &/or sk98lin? As far as I can find with google sk98lin is for a different NIC and I'm not sure what to do with modprobe. You'll see another thread that I just posted to about 10 min ago "Re: 3com 3c2000 NIC support" where I am trying re-compile the 3c2000 drivers and get them into the /lib/.../net/ directory. Dave
