the problem you have is that you're using a kernel that (probably) came delivered with debian; and now a module from (probably) another source that does not seem to have the same number. I simply evaded that problem by getting an entire kernel source and building the animal from scratch, including modules and all. so, you'd have to... 1. get kernel source: look through the list archives on how to rsync with benh's latest 2.4.x kernel (search google on "rsync benh" yields perfect results :) ) 2. configure the kernel using 'make menuconfig' and choose 'M' for the 3c59x options (and preferrably disable anything like USB and stuff that you don't have...) 3. built the kernel, modules and install using: make dep make vmlinux (... or make vmlinuz ?) make modules make modules_install 4. make sure you can boot using the kernel (either edit /etc/quik.conf accordingly and don't forget to run quik / OR : copy it to the BootX folder, if you're using that) 5. modprobe /lib/modules/blabla/where-is-it/3c59x.o and pray. oh, btw: the proper debianized kernel-build process works somewhat differently (you need some kernel-dontknowit package), but frankly I never really got it. too lazy, my fault :) good luck, bye Philipp Kaeser / [EMAIL PROTECTED]
