Hi Richard, > Then that means the card was detected and the module was loaded, have you > done what it says.????
I have made sure that the hardware works. In fact, I dual-boot Windows 98 on the same machine and Windows never has any problems with the card, including now. > You may need to use dhcpcd with options to obtain a IP# from your isp. > IE, hostname ??. Do you mean that I have to set up a DHCP server on my machine and configure it ... ? I sure hope there's an easier way than that ... . I'm beginning to think I've mixed up different kernel module dependencies. The short story is I need help sorting out the modules for use with my two kernels: 2.4.18-14 and 2.4.18-14custom. The long story is: when I originally installed RH8.0 and found it didn't already support my NIC, I recompiled the kernel with make xconfig; make dep; make modules; make modules_install; make bzImage and tried to boot the new kernel. Eventually I got it to boot, but it failed to detect/insert a lot of modules, which seems strange in retrospect because I think I actually specified only one loadable module; all the others were built-in. I recompiled again, with the same results. A lot of error messages courtesy of depmod as it tries to find module dependencies --- things like input.o, soundcore.o, etc. I've recompiled twice after that, with a slightly different command order: make xconfig; make dep; make bzImage; make modules; make modules_install But still I get the same module dependency problems during boot.
