The "ne" module requires the "8390" module; if you use modprobe instead of insmod, it should load this automatically. Alternatively, try # insmod 8390 ; insmod ne Best of all would be to ensure that the file /etc/modules contains a line with just ne which should ensure that the module is automatically loaded at boot (come to think of it, if you loaded it during the install it should already be there; arfe you sure it isn't already loaded? Try # lsmod to see a list of currently loaded modules). John P. -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] "Oh - I - you know - my job is to fear everything." - Bill Gates in Denmark
