hello, i have a pc at home running woody. this weekend, i did an apt-get install kernel-image-2.4.12-k6 ... i'm running a k6-2 cpu. i loved it. i have another box on the 'net.... running potato. it has a d-link nic that uses rtl8139. now, i had that same nic in the box at home and used 8139too with my custom 2.4.2 kernel that i built from source. i'm thinking to dist-upgrade the potato box on the 'net to woody, then use apt to install that same kernel-image. yes, they are the same cpu. i have "limited" physical access to the box; i'd like the nic to come up on boot.... currently, i'm running 2.2.16 kernel.
what do you think the chances are... if i dist-upgrade then install that kernel image, edit lilo.conf, ext.... and edit modules.conf (and possibly /etc/modutils/) to use 8139too instead of rtl8139? think it'll come back up? tia, jason -- registered linux user #202942 http://counter.li.org/ ---------------------------- http://www.theigloo.dhs.org
