You need the firmware. It was removed from the Debian kernel (during Etch) and added to the "non-free" section since so source is provided for it. I believe the name of the package is iwl3945-firmware. >Why the kernel image built by me doesn't support my wired Ethernet card ? Probably didn't choose the right option under "make menuconfig". Or, didn't install the modules correctly--"make modules_install". -- Boyd Stephen Smith Jr. ,= ,-_-. =. b...@iguanasuicide.net ((_/)o o(\_)) ICQ: 514984 YM/AIM: DaTwinkDaddy `-'(. .)`-' http://iguanasuicide.net/ \_/
