You may have to compile your own kernel (module). I didn't see it listed in stable, although it is a module in the testing and unstable 2.4.20 kernels. Once you have the module, just "modprobe e1000", and, if necessary, manually configure it and the routing table. -- Seneca [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
