Two ways to do this: either add 'fealnx' on a line by itself in /etc/modules, which has a list of modules that get loaded at boot time. Or, add 'alias eth0 fealnx' in a file in /etc/modutils (maybe create a file there named with your hostname) and run update-modules as root; this causes the driver to get loaded when you try to bring up the et0 network interface. > then "ifconfig eth0 1.2.3.4 ..." goes ok ( lsmod display "(1)"), > and I can "ping" near computers. You need to edit /etc/network/interfaces; read interfaces(5) for details, or see /usr/share/doc/ifupdown. Having set up that file correctly, 'ifup eth0' will bring up and configure the interface, 'ifdown eth0' will take it down. -- David Maze [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://people.debian.org/~dmaze/ "Theoretical politics is interesting.
