Hello Tijnema, Be sure you checked all dependencies about your module in the kernel in the first place, before you do anything. Once you do a make modules_install after the make command (once you compiled the kernel) it should work already. Just make sure you copy your System.map and the new kernel to the proper location. (in most cases it is /boot)
Off course you need to reboot your system first to apply the changes and after that do a modprobe once it comes back up again. This is just fine once you rebooted. It will assure you, the module is properly inserted and that it compiled and loads all dependencies ok. That's why most people prefer Modprobe instead of insmod. Insmod requires in most cases some more knowledge about the dependencies. Now it is just a matter of adding the procedures into the boot script so that it will load each time you start your system. Tha's all. Cheers, Joris On 2/4/07, Tijnema ! <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
Hi i upgraded my Realtek RTL8139D(10/100) to a Intel 1000MT (10/100/1000), but i can't get it to work. what i already did, i installed the e1000-7.3.20 kernel module and installed it with insmod. but what do i need to do more?, i placed it in the same PCI slot as my Realtek.
