25232 is the size and the 1 is how many times it is used, this part is
completely normal.

Hi Doug,

the lsmod results in a line like this in the middle:

3c59x 25232 1

BUT, looking in /etc/modules.conf and /etc/modules... there in no entry 
with anything near this? Strange

Do a lsmod and look for the 3 com module that is loaded.  Then look in
