Thanks. This is what I got -
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 0 Nov 22 07:33 /sys/class/net/eth0/device/driver -> ../../../../bus/pci/drivers/sky2 This is what I got. I remember seeing elsewhere that sky2 was my eth0 driver. I did not build the kernel myself.It is a standard kernel. And, I am not sure if I upgraded the kernel when I went from lenny to squeeze. uname -a Linux debian-githin 2.6.26-2-686 #1 SMP Wed Sep 21 04:35:47 UTC 2011 i686 GNU/Linux On 11/21/11, Dan Williams <[email protected]> wrote: > On Mon, 2011-11-21 at 19:28 -0500, Githin Alapatt wrote: >> Thanks Dan! >> Those are very much possible.
