Hi,
I have recently installed Linux for the 1st time...
I have also managed to figure out that my ethernet card (3Com fast etherLink
XL 10/100MB 3c905-TX) needs the following driver: 3c59x.o
Hopefully I got this one right....
I tried running modconf and adding that module. When i select it I am asked
if I want to installit, I say "yes". Next message is
"Please wait while modules are detected"
then I am brought back to the net modules screen but 3c59x is not
installed??
(using insmod works but i am not sure it's the same thing)
Am i supposed to do this stuff during the original Linux installation? I
thought I could do it while the kernel was running....
also,
- how do I make sure that module is loaded everytime I reboot the machine?
- what is next in terms of seting up a connection to the outside world??
thanks a lot,
Gianguido Cianci
