To load the driver module automatically, add natsemi to /etc/modules, manually or using modconf or alias eth0 natsemi to /etc/modutils/aliases or a new file in /etc/modutils and run update-modules. To configure the interface, edit /etc/network/interfaces (man interfaces) or install etherconf (you can run dpkg-reconfigure etherconf later to change the configuration). best regards Andreas Janssen -- Andreas Janssen [EMAIL PROTECTED] PGP-Key-ID: 0xDC801674 Registered Linux User #267976 -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
