Hi, Richard:
Thanks.
The machine the 'config KNE110TX' is about is at work and now I'm home.
So, I'll chat about the kernel.vs.module topic at this time.
Whereas this specific computer is to be a file server; it will have
no value to anyone unless the eth0 and Samba is configured,
therefore there is no benefit to a module'd 'eth0',
except to keep the kernel below 512k at boot time.
?

IIRC, there were only about two items in my 'make config' that
could be answered with an 'M'.

Thanks, Chuck :-)
