Hello from Gregg C Levine Exactly. I've been hacking with Linux, excuse me, GNU/ Linux for about six years now, and its been my experience that the device driver which facilitates the uses of Ethernet connections is not part of the basic device driver file system.
In fact its created dynamically by the system at startup, to match the card the user has inserted, or that the motherboard is wearing the hardware for. And that it also matches the module with the same name. Obviously the HURD uses an entirely different method, and to my mind, some what neater method to do this. Given this line of reasoning, I believe we can put this discussion to bed, and consider other issues, some related and some not. ------------------- Gregg C Levine [EMAIL PROTECTED] ------------------------------------------------------------ "The Force will be with you...Always."
