I did. It reported nothing about the eth0 interface, the only thing I saw
was the lo interface. So tlan is the wrong choice probably.

I forgot to mention it. I tried again with a desperate attempt with all
the .o files in /lib/modules/preferred/net/* and a couple of others gave
me no msg with modprobe, but ifconfig -a showed me nothing :-( Must the
eth0 entry be changed in modules.conf for ifconfig to report it?
A friend suggested using the irq option in modules.conf is it worth a
shot?
Thanks again. This list is really great and this is what is keeping me
from pressing on with linux.
