Category: Release/Branch: Dachstein Group: None Status: Closed Resolution: None Priority: 5 Submitted By: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Assigned to: Mike Noyes (mhnoyes) Summary: Editing Modules Correctly Initial Comment: Hello, I am a new Linux user and I need some help. I am using Linux firewall 2.2.19-3-leaf #1 and I am not sure how to modify/edit the module to reckognize my network card. I have the system set up and I read the instructions and downloaded the rtl8139.o module but I am not exactly sure how to edit the systems /etc/modules file and insert the module I need to get the system right. I have went into lrcfg editor and viewed the text but I am not able to figure out how to get the rtl8139 in there and what lines I need. Any help you could provide would be appreciated, as I said I am new at this and I would like to get the feel of it so I can start looking at other alternatives to the "Microsoft Way" of life.

Waters (arkahn) Date: 2002-03-13 13:06 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=17914 This is covered in the documentation, but you could take the following steps: 1) take your 'rtl8139.o' file and drop it onto the root of your floppy boot disk 2) from within the firewall, exit out of the menu, mount the floppy 'mount -t msdos /dev/fd0u1680 /mnt' and move 'rtl8139.o' to /etc/lib/modules (or something similar; it should be with the rest of your drivers). 3) 'umount /mnt' 4) type 'lrcfg' to get back to the menu, and edit the modules file. To get my network driver working (8139too.o), I just had to add it as a line in the modules file 5) back up your modules package and reboot ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=213751&aid=529085&group_id=13751 _______________________________________________ Leaf-user mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/leaf-user
