Hi, I would first try to get a recent kernel source tree (2.4.22, 2.4.23-pre, 2.4.22-ac, etc.), from www.kernel.org, and compile it myself. You can copy the config file from redhat, and only make sure you compile _both_ drivers in the kernel (there are 2 drivers for 8139 in the kernel) as _modules_. This way, you can insmod one of them, experiment a bit, then rmmod, insmod the other. If you suspect the modules leaves the kernel or hardware in an unstable state, you can even reboot between tests. Only later I would go for downloading and compiling an external driver. gcc 3.2 might also be the problem, though. I compile most of my kernels with 2.95.3. I do have some compiled with 3.2 and 3.3, with no problems (yet?). Newer ones (2.4.22+, 2.6.0-test) have higher chances to work with 3.x.
Good luck, and tell us about your progress, -- Didi ================================================================= To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word "unsubscribe" in the message body, e.g., run the command echo unsubscribe | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED]
