Hi, When you configured your kernel (with 'make menuconfig' or 'make xconfig'), did you select the rtl8139 driver? This is under the Network Devices options, 10/100 MBPS. I personally suggest compiling it as a module so that an "M" shows up next to it in the square brackets.
For compiling the kernel, do: make depend make bzImage (but this depends on the architecture; for i386 I like this) make modules make modules_install The modules_install places the modules in the /lib/modules directory.

It's a part of the kernel but can be compiled: 1) Into the kernel (I don't recommend this one because it's less flexable) or 2) As a module. When the compilition is done (and the modules compilation if using step (2) above), be sure ad do "make modules_install". That "installs" the modules by placing them in a standard location (/lib/modules). > Please also Note: why would 2.4.18(kernel built from kernel.org > site) kernel boot is NOT on network and 2.2.19 kernel is on network > and it is the same machine. Most likely because the module utilities (modutils) aren't able to find the modules. Elizabeth -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
