After not getting any instructions on how to compile a module that didn't come with the source into a kernel I gave up and decided to just do the nic module as installable.
Since I had the source for the new kernel I went ahead and compiled it by Kents 10 step list. I left the things I didn't understand at their default value. It booted and seems to run as before. I then made the nic module and make installed it. Appearantly there is no autodetect feature so I need to know what I lines to add to what files to get my networking up. It is a DSL connection with a static IP address. Mark Healey [EMAIL PROTECTED] Giving debian a chance. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
