1) Get a new card - I use RH but the D-link 100... works well and is detected as hardware and configures at boot (cheap and easy...Which brings to mind another topic but I digress). 2) I did get my linksys (model: something like le100tx) working, I never could get it to configure on boot. I remember (I did this a while ago) that I needed to get and compile pci-scan.c (getting the pciscan.h file too) - I found the notes I took: Compiled pci-scan.c # gcc -DMODULE -D__KERNEL__ -O6 -c pci-scan.c Compiled tulip.c # gcc -DMODULE -D__KERNEL__ -O6 -c tulip.c Test/install module # insmod pci-scan.o Test/install module # insmod tulip.o copy/install modules in module library # install -m 644 pci-scan.o /lib/modules/2.2.14-5.0/net/ copy/install modules in module library # install -m 644 tulip.o /lib/modules/2.2.14-5.0/net/ update the module database # depmod -a Editted /etc/modules.conf added line: alias eth1 tulip Then I had to run a script on boot to configure it like: insmod /lib/modules/2.2.14-5.0/net/tulip.o ifconfig.... Pete, you want to add to this??
