It will be loaded at boot from then on. In case something has gone awry however, check to see if the .o that you made is in /lib/modules/<kernel version/ somewhere. If you aren't sure what the .o name is, you could do $ find . -name \*.o |sort > /tmp/before <build process> $ find . -name \*.o |sort > /tmp/after $ diff /tmp/before /tmp/after ...to find out. When I install new modules in my system, I tend to copy the .o into /lib/modules manually, run depmod -a, and add it into /etc/modules if I want it on-boot. (surely however this shouldn't be necessary, and it should be autoloaded when something tries to use the eth interface?) -- Jon Dowland http://jon.dowland.name/ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
