Actually no, but I think this is because of something different.
With the unmodified kernel and modules, the tulip module refuses to
load, complaining hat it is compiled for kernel 2.0.36 (or 37?) and
that the running kernel is 102.0.36 (or 37?). Looks really strange.
Another strange thing I noticed is that when booting the default
bootdisk, two inetwork interfaces are created, lo and eth0. I have not
figured out what device is used for the eth0, since no modules are
loaded. (what device is used for this?). However on the 2.4.2 kernel,
no network devices are loaded, not even lo.
Also I've tried making a version with the 3c509 driver, and tested on
a computer with this card (that I know works) and the same thing
happens as with the tulip driver. (lo is not created either)
Maybe I need to get a newer version of the netutils as well, or maybe
there is something wrong with my kernelconfig (although I can't see
anything wrong :-(
aggh, this is annoying :-)
