So as I understand it, you have your net card connected to your cable modem
correct? I honestly don't know too much about cable modems so I don't know
where to start troubleshooting that, but if you are having problems getting
actual eth0 initializing, the problem is probably not so much the cable
modem, but the configuration of the netcard itself. You might want to make
sure that you have have the driver installed properly and that everything
is going ok. Also, check netcfg and make sure you have the "driver.o" file
set as the file eth0 is using...even though you have insmod going. Tell me
how she goes. Later
