There's probably a simpler way to build only the module you want, but I've found building the kernel from source will mitigate some problems. This is from memory, I have not built a kernel in a week or so. 1. Become root (su - and enter root's passowrd) 2. cd to /usr/src/linux-(some kernel revision). 3. cp configs/kernel-(some kernel revision)-i686.config .config (provided you're running on a single processor pentium class machine). Otherwise look in the configs directory and copy the correct file. 4. make oldconfig, and answer any questions by taking the defaults. There probably won't be any questions. 5. make gconfig and go to the Device Drivers/Networking Support/Network device support/Ethernet (10 or 100Mbit) section. Click on the triangles. 6. Find "Other ISA cards" and double-click the check box. 7. Single-click on NE2000/NE1000... and type the letter m to build as a module. 8. Click on the save button in the tool bar. 9. Exit gconfig. 10. Type make. 11. Type make modules_install. 12. Type make install. If all goes well you will now have a new kernel and modules to your specification. Step 10 may take a very long time, so go eat something. There are a lot of parameters that can be changed while your in gconfig. Eliminating unneeded drivers and such can significantly shorten the make time. But, be very careful. If you've not done this before then leave everything alone and enjoy all the messages scrolling by. Reboot and select your new kernel. Hopefully, kudzu will detect eth0 and configure it appropriately. Bob...
