See /usr/share/doc/libc6/README.Debian.gz for more information. What driver, exactly, are you trying to build, and how? Does it have some way to tell it where the kernel headers are? (An e1000 driver has been included in the kernel since at least kernel 2.4.21, and quite possibly earlier; http://lxr.linux.no/ suggests that it was added to the kernel in 2.4.20. If you're using a prebuilt Debian kernel, I'd be a little surprised if you didn't already have the driver hanging around.) For the effort you're going through, it almost sounds like you might be better off building a 2.4.23 kernel using kernel-package that you know contains the driver you want. -- David Maze [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://people.debian.org/~dmaze/ "Theoretical politics is interesting.
