Thus modprobe -v 8139too fails with "no module by that name found" So the question is, whether the correct udeb is missing altogether or failed to install. this shows up in /var/log/syslog as user.notice hw-detect: Detecting hardware... user.notice hw-detect: Loding modules... user.notice hw-detect: Detected module '8139too' for Realtek ... user.notice hw-detect: Trying to load module '8139too' user.notice hw-detect: Missing module '8139too'. grep 'DEBUG: install nic-' /var/log/syslog returns nothing. find /cdrom/pool/main -name nic-\* finds /cdrom/pool/main/l/linux-kernel-di/nic-...-2.4.22-...udeb but uname -a says Linux (none) 2.4.25-1-386 ... so the available ones do not match the kernel version, it seems to me. Hope this helps. Cheers, Erich -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
