Re: ThinkPad problem continues
To find out which module it is run lsmod. Then run rmmod MOD_NAME to remove each module one by one. When the network stops working run insmod to install the last module that you removed. After you have found the module, run modconf and select that module under the network section. It will then be available when you boot.

I forgot to add a route for the net because I did not know it was necessary here. It is working now even without that. I could not start NFS (I am unfamiliar with how it is done in Debian because things are in different places) so I am using FTP. I wish I knew which network card module is working. Probably ne2000 since that is the first one I installed and I believe that is what I used with Caldera. thanks -- Andrew

That is what I am thinking, that I must build it, but that is a problem since I need to install the development stuff first and not having the card working prevents that. I can do: ifconfig eth0 192.168.1.11 route add 192.168.1.11 dev eth0 but that only lets me ping the machine by hostname or localhost. I cannot ping the other machine. -- Andrew
