Hi Marc

Thanks for your mail. I have followed the instructions as described in
that URL. But when I compiled the module, it gave me an error messege
but completed well. Then I replaced the existing b44.ko file with the
latest one (however thre were some other files created in the tarball
folder, I did not do anyting with them. Then restarted the PC.

While starting up network devices, it says " eth0 does not seem to be
present, delaying initialization".

After loging in as root, I manually tried to add the device, but again
it says "b44 device eth0 does not seem to be present, delaying
initialization".

My System is Dell Inspiron, 5100 with only 256 MB RAM. I will be very
happy if you can help me further.

Regards
Raheem
