How to compile this module therefore is my new question. guess you need a quick kernel compilation guide. 2 methods in your case I guess (haven't read the whole tread, so I could be mistaken): a) the 'dirty' method. Do the 'make menuconfig' thing and then 'make dep make modules'. Then 'cp drivers/net/8139too.o /lib/modules/2.4.XX/kernel/drivers/net/', 'depmod -a' and 'modprobe 8139too' (or just an even more dirty 'insmod drivers/net/8139too.o'). If this works, you can use modconf and other utils and stuff. If the kernel complains, try the more official method: b) the 'official' method. 'make clean make menuconfig make dep make bzImage make modules'. Then as root install arch/i386/boot/bzImage as your kernel (cp arch/i386/boot/bzImage /vmlinuz), run 'lilo' (or whatever you use to boot), and install the modules (make modules_install) and reboot. Consult the kernel compiling howto for more information. Greetz, Sebas -- English written by Dutch people is easily recognized by the improper use of 'In principle ...'

How to compile this module therefore is my new question. well, the easy and debian way (they are the same thing, IMHO), is to: 1. apt-get install kernel-source-2.4.18 kernel-package 2. cd /usr/src/kernel-source-2.4.18 3. make menuconfig (then go through and pick out all the drivers you want, including the appropriate realtek drivers) 4. make-kpkg kernel_image 5. cd .. 6. dpkg -i kernel-image-2.4.18*.deb and there you are. if you selected all the appropriate drivers, you should be set. reboot, and you will be using your newly compiled kernel you may want to uncoment the prompt option in lilo.conf (then run lilo) to ensure that you can revert to your old kernel easily if something doesnt work. -davidc -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

I don't know if this will help you or not but in my case I need to boot with the noapic option on the boot command line and then I get net support. The 8139too.o module is already built into the bf2.4 kernel. Add append=noapic to your /etc/lilo.conf and run lilo to update the config. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: 8139too Module
Hi Timothy, * Timothy Paling [EMAIL PROTECTED] [040128 09:39]: I am somewhat of a newbie to Debian and have managed to sucessfully install 3.0r2 on my Compaq 2104EA laptop. Congratulations. I am, however, having some issues with getting my Belkin F5D5010 Ethernet CardBus card working. The Cardbus itself is working (I have verified this by looking at /var/log/syslog when inserting the card). I am aware that I need to install the 8139too module, however, I'm completely unsure on how to do this. Two ways kernel modules can be installed (or inserted into the running kernel) using the (1) modprobe or (2)modconf commands. (1) % modprobe 8139too You can make sure that the 8139too module is installed each time you boot by adding the the string 8139too to the file /etc/modules. Just open up /etc/modules in your favourite editor, or type the following on the command line % echo 8139too /etc/modules (2) % modconf and then navigate through the menus to find 8139too (should be in kernel/drivers/net). If you use this method to install a module, modconf will automatically append it to /etc/modules, to ensure it is loaded each time you boot. Anyhelp or advice would be much appreciated.
