hi... well i read my /etc/modules.conf and it does contain the line alias eth0 ....
the problem is while upgrading my kernel .. my xconfig does not show up dlink ... i do not have an entry for dlink range of cards ..i made a futile effort searching the entire list for any matching sequence of the number... assuming that modifying the modules.conf will come in handy after installation...i rebooted the machine and then i got the same old error...eth0 failure... Something intresting to be noted here is this...when i installed 7.1 it did not detect my card .... i had to manually run netconfig afterwards... i tried to play the same trick here(with the new kernel) .....no avail words of wisdom please...

I notice that in /usr/src/<kernel type>/drivers/net there's a file !8139too.c which has mention of DFE538TX. If that's the correct module, !you might get the card working if you added in /etc/modules.conf the line !"alias eth0 8139too", used mkinitrd to make an initial ramdisk image in !/boot, put the initrd=... line in /etc/lilo.conf, and ran lilo. Or you !could compile the kernel with the 8139too included. But it should be !obvious from the above that I've never used a DLINK card, and may well be !wrong about what would work. ! !-- !Steven Yellin ! ! ! !_______________________________________________ !Seawolf-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] !https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/seawolf-list ! ---------------------------------------------------------- rm -rf /bin/laden ---------------------------------------------------------- _______________________________________________ Seawolf-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/seawolf-list
