I hope you can get a copy of Debian 2.2 soon; 2.1 (Slink) is ancient. Add `3c59x' to the file /etc/modules, and the module for your card will be inserted the next time you boot. Alternately, you could add `alias eth0 3c59x' to /etc/modutils/local and run update-modules, which does almost the same thing, except that it only loads the module when eht0 is activated instead of at boot time. -- -=|JP|=- "Why, oh, why didn't I take the blue pill?"
