Don,
I did configured my 3Com905C, ether static or module loadable. Also I see
errors related to sound, since no driver is there to support my SB Live
sound card. lsmod shows module sound unused.
Now it turns out that module 3c90x (good for my NIC) has been there from
the CD install, but linuxconfig tool just hasn't got an entry for that
module. I hand typep in 3c90x when configure network and it boots and
works well.
Now I still have to compile the kernel to include my SB Live card driver
and I am nurverous about dealing with the module.
Please let me know how to find .config info and I'll post it. I guess it
is in /usr/src/linux, but I am not quite sure. I need go home to check on
it.
