After just posting I immediately began to wonder if it would also work to just: ln -s 8139too.o rtl8139.o in your /lib/modules/2.4.0/net directory and then leave your eth0 defined to rtl8139 as it is for the 2.2 kernel. ??? - Bruce > p.s. any idea of how to load a module depending

Thats a good quesiton. I'm guessing that one would have to have two versions of /etc/modules.conf, say for example /etc/modules.conf-2.2.16 and /etc/modules.conf-2.4.0. Then symlink one or the other to /etc/modules.conf somewhere early in the boot process based on `uname -r` Anyone else know h

that's what I had thought too, but I had the same amount of services going, just did an upgrade or install of 6.2 andthen tried 7.0. The whole computer only cost $20, it's a nice thing to be able to run NFS, Apache, anonFTP, telnet, INN, PPPoE, ipchains, and many other things on a computer like t
