You can't because there isn't modutils tools of 2.4 kernel included in Bering-uClibc or, what I can tell, in any of its ancestors for size reasons, I guess.
I have a box with two NICs run by 3c59x drivers on Bering-uClibc 3.1. What I can remember, there wasn't any problems getting them operational. Loading the module once was able to find both NICs. What about running some Linux LiveCD system on your box and checking, if it can find the NICs? If it can't, then your problem is in hardware. Which reminds me of couple problems, I had with PCI-bus configurations and 2.4 kernels. The last one was with PCI parity feature enabled in BIOS, what prevented the second NIC to operate The second problem was related to irq sharing (commonly IRQ 11) on PCI-bus, but can't remember the fix. Kernels and modules do have extensive options by which most problems can be solved ie. if hardware works ok, and even if it doesn't in case of faulty/nonexistent defaults in BIOS, there is many kernel options to get the hardware operational. The problem is that often it has been most work in digging what available options are. Erkki on 25.7.2008 10:23 Izzy Blacklock wrote: > I'm trying to configure a new router using Bering-uClibc 3.1.
