Thank you for the response. Very strange, because my exprience has been completely different: no problem loading yenta_socket.o (I'm using it right now with a different NIC). I have been compiling with gcc-3.3, but at least the kernel seems to be working, and the Tulip module seems to be at least trying to load... I remain confused. cheers, Joe -- Joseph Fahey http://www.ditl.info
