Two ways kernel modules can be installed (or inserted into the running kernel) using the (1) "modprobe" or (2)"modconf" commands. (1) % modprobe 8139too You can make sure that the 8139too module is installed each time you boot by adding the the string "8139too" to the file /etc/modules. Just open up /etc/modules in your favourite editor, or type the following on the command line % echo "8139too" >> /etc/modules (2) % modconf and then navigate through the menus to find 8139too (should be in kernel/drivers/net). If you use this method to install a module, modconf will automatically append it to /etc/modules, to ensure it is loaded each time you boot. > Anyhelp or advice would be much appreciated.
