Package: Linuxconf version : 1.17r5-2 Whilst trying to use a number of different rtl8139 ethernet cards, I have modified the contents in /etc/modutils/aliases to correctly include the modules to load at boot time.
In addition, I have tried to use linuxconf to configure other settings. linuxconf creates a file called conf.modules in /etc whereas what appears to be required by modprobe is modules.conf Once this file has been created by linuxconf, modprobe complains that the use of conf.modules has been depreciated. I presume that it means that this functionality has been replaced in recent revisions and that the filename has been changed around. removing this file and manually updating the details in /etc/network/interfaces the network card is now working properly and can connect to the LAN. (also applies to linuxconf-x with the same version number) jON Jon Rowlan Consultant & Director, SADS Ltd phone +44 (0) 1622 600 007 fax +44 (0) 1622 761 046 -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
