It does. I was at the office and had the generic disk set with me. Said 'what the heck' and found it works. > It's always best from a performance standpoint to create your own custom > kernel. I always do. However, after installing, I found that the 'ne' module would hang the system when trying to find my PCI card (io=0x6200). Since the kernel installation package does not come on my CD (Infomagic Linux Developer's Resource, 9/96 Debian 1.1.4), I had to recompile the kernel the old way, but with NE2000 support built in. That works fine. Now that I have my network back, I can ftp the modules needed. Thanks to all for their help.
