More stuff: I did a # modprobe ne2k-pci and I get this: ne2k-pci..: PCI NE2000 clone 'Realtek RTL-8029* at I/O 0x20a0, IRQ 9. eth0: RealTek RTL-8029 found at 0x20a0, IRQ 9, 00:00:B4:B8:94:CC # I suppose this means that the modular driver has been installed in the kernel and detected my NIC. So far, great.
Wonder why kmod won't autoload it when I do "ifconfig-yadayada up" ? BTW: What does the hex-part at the end mean? Sorry if I'm being dense here, but a lot this is very unclear in the net-howto, and I am trying to learn. This is my first lan! :-) Thanks Vitux -- "I'm not a crook" Richard Nixon Debian GNU/Linux Micro$loth-free Zone
