 The .config option you are looking for is CONFIG_TIGON3 My last
 notebook had one of those and I searched for ages before spotting
 one day that t, g and 3 all appeared in TIGON3.

 Sorry that I couldn't help with the more general question, at least
 you got an answer for the more specific case.

Ahh haa, very good... thanks.

As much mess as I've put myself thru on this kernel business having
that answered is almost exciting Aha Aha ... a new avenue to
try out.   But I don't really hold out much hope for that being the
missing ingredient  

When I boot from install cd it finds an SVGA type of display and a
pcnet32 network requirement. 

But at least I was in the ball park on the section that critter is
in. 

I haven't actually tried it yet so there is still hope hehe.

Hi,

a generic way is:
1) Go to /usr/src/linux
2) grep tg3 $(find -name Makefile)

of course you can replace tg3 with every other module name (but don't
add the .ko extension!)

Nice... I had come up with an even more shotgun approache.

grep -r tg3 kernel-name

I didn't have enough sense to know it would be in Makefiles
