Firstly, if you do "dmesg | grep eth" and it gives you some output chances are your module is already loaded and has recognized the network card. In this case, read "man interfaces" and edit /etc/network/interfaces. If not, try "lspci -v | less" (This will give a lot of output so it's best to pipe it into less). Now look for something about a network card/chip. Report that back to us or try to figure out from the chipname which module you need. You can get a nice list of them by executing modconf. If you happend to find the right driver, see above. greets, Wim -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
