I think he is using a kernel older than 2.4.19. Probably 2.4.18? I guess that because 2.4.18 does not include an e1000 driver. The e1000 driver was introduced into the 2.4.19 kernel. > It sounds like you may be using a kernel that was configured without > that module.

So the 2.4.18 from woody would not have it by default. Of course it could be compiled for 2.4.18 as a module. But using a newer kernel which included it already would be easiest to recommend. It is usually about here where I suggest getting the kernel from the woody-proposed-updates area. A not quite official update area and very useful. deb http://http.us.debian.org/debian/ woody-proposed-updates main contrib I would not upgrade from there. Just install the kernel that you want, then comment that line out for the future. I always install the kernel tuned for my architecture, k7 for an athlon, and so forth. Bob
