Yes Sir - Checked it off. Error I'd see during boot up was no device eth0 when the OS was trying to use the "eth0" device I configured per the LFS 7.0 Book. >> Do you think its a matter of me running some Loadmodule command in a >> script to make it work then? >> >> Note, in the kernel I checked it with the ASTERISK which is supposed to >> compile it into the kernel >> versus being a loadable module. >If you have built it in the kernel, then there's nothing you have to >do, it should work out of the box.

The devices all appear in /dev except eth0 Note also, Slackware (my Host) DOES use the card but there isn't a eth0 in the "dev" either. Something like an Alias of some sort might be in play? I don't know. As for checking for an error message with dmesg, I'm not in a position now to look. I booted back to Win7, fired up VirtualBOX with Slackware in it, tried to copy the OS there - but the boot was locking up and WAY slow - with errors I think about directory permissions - so I decided to start a fresh compile of the OS from NOTHING to try my eth0 luck there for a bit. I'd check now - but it's already compiling like mad and will be awhile. Thank You for taking an interest. This page had the most I could find for installing the driver we're discussing: http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/linux-broadcom-ethernet-card-driver-installation/ But I don't have the compiled "tgc" driver at my disposal - just a download with and RPM, some source code and (weak) instructions for SUSE and RedHat. If I wanted easy - I'd of used one of those Instant-Distro-via-a-Click web sites though. --Jason -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
