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.
