Hi Jeff, I also use netgear cards. You may want to try "old_tulip" instead. Here is the "Ethernet" section of my kernel config file: (This is a custom kernel from www.kernel.org so YMMV on some options...) I also chose to compile it in the kernal, btw. Oh yeah, kernel is 2.2.17. CONFIG_NET_ETHERNET=y # CONFIG_NET_VENDOR_3COM is not set # CONFIG_LANCE is not set # CONFIG_NET_VENDOR_SMC is not set # CONFIG_NET_VENDOR_RACAL is not set # CONFIG_RTL8139 is not set # CONFIG_NET_ISA is not set CONFIG_NET_EISA=y # CONFIG_PCNET32 is not set # CONFIG_AC3200 is not set # CONFIG_APRICOT is not set # CONFIG_CS89x0 is not set # CONFIG_DM9102 is not set # CONFIG_DE4X5 is not set # CONFIG_DEC_ELCP is not set CONFIG_DEC_ELCP_OLD=y # CONFIG_DGRS is not set CONFIG_EEXPRESS_PRO100=y # CONFIG_LNE390 is not set # CONFIG_NE3210 is not set # CONFIG_NE2K_PCI is not set # CONFIG_TLAN is not set # CONFIG_VIA_RHINE is not set # CONFIG_SIS900 is not set # CONFIG_ES3210 is not set # CONFIG_EPIC100 is not set # CONFIG_ZNET is not set # CONFIG_NET_POCKET is not set In dmesg , I get tulip.c:v0.89H 5/23/98 [EMAIL PROTECTED] eth0: Lite-On 82c168 PNIC at 0xd000, 00 a0 cc 58 67 ea, IRQ 11. eth0: MII transceiver found at MDIO address 1, config 3000 status 7829. eth0: Advertising 01e1 on PHY 1, previously advertising 01e1. > > I have no /dev/eth* devices at all in my system.

Try looking in /proc/pci instead. (: You should see something like Non-prefetchable 32 bit memory at 0xd8000000 [0xd8000000]. Bus 0, device 11, function 0: Ethernet controller: LiteOn LNE100TX (rev 32). Medium devsel. Fast back-to-back capable. IRQ 11. Master Capable. Latency=32.
