>>Sounds like you need to edit /etc/resolv.conf and change all the Err, sorry. Excuse me for posting at 1:30am after a 1,000 mile flight. That file name is, of course, /etc/conf.modules. >>If you have neither "3c509" nor "3c59x" in there, then just startx as root >>and click on the button in the control panel that looks like a deformed tooth >>but is actually supposed to look like a kernel of corn (for configuring the >>kernel daemon, get it?).

Click on "Restart Kernel Daemon" and voila. This is what you need to do. It should set up the kernel daemon so that the 3c59x module will automagically be loaded. > >I tried using the control panel to build the kernel with support for >"3c59x" and then restarting the kernel but this did not work for me. I was Err, no, that's not how it works. You're not building the kernel with support for 3c59x, it already has it, as a module. It just doesn't know that it needs to use that module when you access device "eth0". That's what kerneld (the deformed kernel of corn) does. As for your solution of putting "insmod 3c59x" into rc.sysinit, that is certainly a valid-enough solution, but will go away next time you upgrade your system. BTW, here is what my /etc/conf.modules looks like: ------cut here------- alias eth0 3c59x ----end------------- That's it! Either restart kerneld by hand, or pretend you're running Windows 95 and reboot the whole machine :-}. -- Eric ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com -- PLEASE read the Red Hat FAQ, Tips, Errata and the MAILING LIST ARCHIVES! http://www.redhat.com/RedHat-FAQ /RedHat-Errata /RedHat-Tips /mailing-lists To unsubscribe: mail [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe" as the Subject.
