Hello Tom, In looking at /etc/rc.modules, e1000 isn't commented out for this i586 build. However, lspci -k seems to be looking for "e1000e". Do you suppose there's any value in adding "e1000e" to this list? Or will I need to also add the e1000e module itself?
Thanks for your help! Dan On 1/11/2011 9:35 AM, Tom Chadwin wrote: > Hi Dan > > Try looking at /etc/rc.modules.
