Thanks for the really quick replies.

I added these lines and the static option ( thanks for the man reference
). However, I still get the same error when I use #ifup eth1.

I am as sure as I can be with my experience. That is, I have full web
access and am sending this email over the eth0 card with that module.
I did #lsmod
Module Size Used by
loop 7808 0 (unused)
tulip 30680 1
sound 57356 0 (unused)
soundlow 344 0 [sound]
No errors were found when I looked at dmesg.

However, there were some errors that flew by at boot that are not
there. From what I saw they were modprobe errors complaining about my
lp module. How can I see the complete log of what flashes by at boot?
I looked at the man dmesg, but the -n switch just returned no messages
at all. I had some trouble with modules but I thought that had been
resolved with a fresh install this morning and the recompiled kernel
from fresh sources. ( I have been fighting with this problem on and off
for over a month, but I will fix it today if the coffee holds out)
By the way, I have a gnome ( with helix gnome ) desktop. Currently,
using Mozilla for mail since my local mail also isn't yet working. Is
there a way to directly send standard output to the gnome "clipboard"
instead of dmesg > dmesg.txt and then cutting from there?
Thanks
