Thank you for the link, Alkis. I have tried what is suggested in that link before, but this doesn't solve my problem. In the introduction section of that page it states; "In this page it's assumed that the network card module is shipped with the Linux kernel, but it's not contained in the LTSP initramfs." This is not the case for me.
In my case, the network card module is 'not shipped' with the kernel. It is in fact not being built as a module in the first place, because it is somehow configured as an 'excluded' module when the LTSP kernel is built. This means my LTSP chroot has no trace of this module at all. If I follow all the steps outlined in the link (substituting the 'atl1c' module for my 'r6040' module) and then I extract the files from the new initrd using the following commands: $ mv initrd.img initrd.gz $ gunzip initrd.gz $ cpio -id < initrd and then search for my module: $ find . -name "r6040.ko" or even search for similar items: $ find . -name "r6040*" It comes back with nothing at all. The module is not being placed in the initrd because it is not present in the LTSP chroot kernel build. This is what I mean by an 'excluded' module. I hope this clarifies my problem a little bit better.
