RE: permamently load a network module
It was actually the eepro1000.o driver, not the eepro100.o as I typed earlier. This worked, so now one more problem is solved. -Original Message- From: news [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Andreas Janssen Sent: Thursday, December 04, 2003 3:01 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: permamently load a network module Hello Michael Martinell (<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>) wrote: > I have configured my network to use a driver, however when the > computer restarts it no longer has the network. > > I installed the driver as follows: > > /etc/init.d/networking stop > > copy the module to /lib/modules/2.4.18-bf2.4/kernel/drivers/net > > /sbin/insmod /lib/modules/2.4.18-bf2.4/kernel/drivers/net/eepro100.o Was your card not supported by the eepro100 module in 2.4.18?

permamently load a network module
I have configured my network to use a driver, however when the computer restarts it no longer has the network. I installed the driver as follows: /etc/init.d/networking stop copy the module to /lib/modules/2.4.18-bf2.4/kernel/drivers/net /sbin/insmod /lib/modules/2.4.18-bf2.4/kernel/drivers/net/eepro100.o /sbin/lsmod (shows that the module is loaded) I then configured the /etc/network/interfaces the way I wanted it. /etc/init.d/networking start no errors ifconfig shows my new interfaces eth0 and lo eth0 is the one I am trying to configure. I can ping other computers on the network. When I restart eth0 does not show up in ifconfig. The module does not show up when /sbin/lsmod is ran. If I run the networking start command after reboot it tells me that eth0 and lo are configure correctly. However still no output from ifconfig or any network access. Sorry about the long post, but I wanted to be as thorough as possible.
