Wowzers... Reboot?? I thought this was linux... The only reason you need to reboot is for Kernel INTERNAL changes.. Modules are not internal changes..
Hell, most of the time you can just enable the module and do make modules; make modules_install.... It will go and compile the one module and install it.. Worked here several times... I do, however, recall someone saying that if you install, for example, a scsi module and never had any scsi support you need a complete recompile of the kernel... Try it.. might just work.. :) -----Original Message----- From: Luis Morales [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, August 25, 2003 2:06 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [gentoo-user] Intel PRO/100 VE integrated installation Hello, try with: # modprobe eepro100 if not work, you can list the modules avilable from kernel : # modprobe -l | grep eepro and try with other module. if not have an eepro module support, you need recompile your kernel and add eepro100 module support. them you need add this modules when the machine start: Edit /etc/modules.autoload and add eepro100 Them restart your machine.
