The kernel source-tree have the network driver I need.
When I make menuconfig, I select built-in option for my network
driver.
I don't use a module driver for my network card. I use built-in
driver. I don't really think
I need insmod and modprobe, because the drivers is built-in in the
kernel.
And it seemed that kernel can detect my card.
$cat /proc/pci
Bus 0, device 14, function 0:
Ethernet controller: VIA Technologies Unknown device (rev 66).
Vendor id=1106. Device id=3065.
Medium devsel. IRQ 11. Master Capable. Latency=32. Min Gnt=3.
Max Lat=8.
I/O at 0x6100 [0x6101].
Non-refectchable 32 bit memory at 0xe4000000 [0xe4000000].
Is that possible this driver didn't support built-in option. I can
use this driver when I
use it as a module. I will work fine. But when I compile it as a
built-in driver, I want
to know what should I do to make it work. I tried to use
/etc/network/interfaces and
ifup and still didn't work. Please help me. Thanks.
