I have been using Suse (5.1, 6.1 and 6.3) and decided to see what all the
hype about Mandrake was. I like what I see with one exception. With Suse my
ethernet card was always auto-configured and just was there. Mandrake
refuses to mount the card. When I run insmod I get the following:

[root@localhost jim]# insmod wd
/lib/modules/2.2.14-15mdk/net/wd.o: unresolved symbol ei_open
/lib/modules/2.2.14-15mdk/net/wd.o: unresolved symbol ethdev_init
/lib/modules/2.2.14-15mdk/net/wd.o: unresolved symbol ei_interrupt
/lib/modules/2.2.14-15mdk/net/wd.o: unresolved symbol NS8390_init
/lib/modules/2.2.14-15mdk/net/wd.o: unresolved symbol ei_close
    

computer is an AMD K6-2 350 with Azus MB and 64M ram running Masndrake 7.0
ethercard is an old Western Digital 8013 16 bit ISA (I have a coax network
and it would be very hard to change)

If I swap cards with one of my Windoze machines it works in the Windows
box, but the replacement that is put in the Linux box does the same thing
(all are WD8013 cards)

A friend offered some TrendNet cards but I can't find drivers for them.

Am I missing something in the kernal?
