I'm not sure if this will help, but you might give it a try. first do `depmod' and after that try `modprobe natsemi' (both you can do from any directory, just make sure you are root). If that doesn't work you might have some more trouble which I am unlikely to be able to help you with. I'm unfamiliar with both the board and NIC. If these simple things work you want to add `natsemi' in /etc/modules to be loaded at boottime. Using a higher kernel version is also better imho, the 2.4.x series (which is in stable aka woody as package kernel-image-2.4.whathever) I had once on a very old pc where the 2.4 kernel had no problem whatsoever with the NIC while the 2.2 kernel's drivers wouldn't do the work. Well, I hope this simple stuff gets you going. Oh yeah, also next time use the list [EMAIL PROTECTED] for questions like this (and also please follow up this mail there). You'll get more and better response I guess. Cheers, floris -- Debian GNU/Linux -- The power of freedom www.debian.org | www.gnu.org | www.kernel.org
