Yes, but it doesn't seem to work. I notice the card doesn't light up now, so I think I've simply lost some configuration with all this thrashing about. There ought to be a dpkg-reconfigure something, I suppose, but I don't know what. Or perhaps the 8139too.o that is there now is the faulty one I compiled... But how to reinstall the distro version? Also, I have a menu of network configurations that pops up at each boot, and if I try to make a new configuration, the list is simply longer next time. But that does not include the configuration of the driver, just IPs and so forth, so redoing that is pointless. I don't remember what it told me about getting rid of that menu, though. > boot into the new kernel, and: > > # modprobe pcmcia > # modprobe yenta_socket these are silent but these: > # modprobe 8139too > # ifconfig eth0 up give 'No such device' errors [...] > >-- #RTL_MEM_ACCESS = USE_IO_OPS > > The above line defines RTL_MEM_ACCESS, but is commented out.

Put it in place, but I still need to sort out the configuraion issues mentioned above. Anyone still have patience for this?
