actually if you read the original post the card IS working, the original question was asking about how a certain setting got set, as below: > I've got an older machine whose NIC uses the ne module.

And the answer I suspect may be running a script called "generate-modprobe.conf" which I have never heard of. Unless something has changed the script is "update-modules" on gentoo. generate-modprobe.conf seems to come from module-init-tools and update-modules from baselayout. I suspect that the former is generic and the latter specific to gentoo. -- Nick Rout <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
