Nic Issues..

[Tom Kloppel]

First of all, im using a DECchip 21041 card, it is supposed to use the 'Tulip' module.  I installed debian with the normal woddy kernel(2.2.20-idepci) and the network card worked just fine.  Last night I compiled/installed/upgraded to the 2.4.18 kernel, rebooted, and the network card wasnt loading, and the little pc light on my cable modem was OFF...  So I tried to compile again and i was sure to add support for Decchip 2x04x Tulip module.  Now the PC light does turn on, but i still cant get the card to function correctly. What I find wierd is that when i do 'insmod tulip' it says it cant find the module.  Should that be happening? I loaded up linuxconf and played around in the network area a bit, when i told it to save the settings (set it to dhcp to see if it just wasnt getting it's address) it said that no card was detected. I know the card is working fine because Im using it to send this e-mail right now... Any Ideas?  (Im not sure what files to include so I will send them by request if anyone is willing :-)) Thanks.
