Robert's right. Almost all hardware support in Linux is from the kernel itself. That's something new from the Windows world, where most pieces of hardware have their own external drivers. In Linux, it's all internal to the kernel. > I have found a Sundance module in my distro, but its sundance.ko. I don't > know if that makes a difference or not.

Try, as root, running: modprobe sundance and let us know what happens. If nothing happens and you just get another prompt, then it loaded correctly. If that's the case, try: ifconfig also as root. You should see an entry and some information for eth0. Chad Martin ------------------------ Yahoo!
