I have gone to www.scyld.com for the latest tulip module (the module that runs the card), andhave downloaded the latest driver (version .92) that allows the card to work. I found this info out through various posting on the internet. Only the latest tulip will get this card working. Now, I have been able to follow various how-tos about how to compile this card. I have not had any success with this under Storm (using the latest Hail release). I have gotten the card up and running in RH, Mandrake, SuSe and Caldera. However, I think that the file structure (or something) is different in Debian versus a RH like distro. If anyone has a clue about how to get this to compile correctly - it would be great! Currently, I am not running Storm due to lack of a network connection (and therefore no internet :( ). Please let me know about any of your experiences . . . Thanks,Ron Ifferte Did you do a typical install or a custom install?  If you've done a typical install, development tools will not be installed.  If you did a custom install, you may have accidentally missed one of the essential development tools required to build the driver.  Check to see that you've got the following  installed: kernel-headers, kernel source, gcc, gcc272, bin86.  You can determine whether those packages are installed or not by using dpkg with the -l option: Example: dpkg -l  gcc +++================-============-==================   ii     gcc                                      2.xx.x-x                      The GNU C compiler ii means that the package is installed, un means that the package is not installed. If you are missing any of these packages, you can use Storm Package Manager to update your sources and then install the packages or you can  apt-get update your sources and apt-get install which ever files you are missing. You will have to bunzip2 and untar the kernel headers and kernel-source and then: mv  kernel-source-2.2.16-storm   linux in order to have the linux directory in /usr/src. bunzip2 kernel-source-2.2.16-storm.tar.bz2 tar -xvf kernel-source-2.2.16-storm.tar Try compiling again. If that doesn't help, please post any errors that you receive during the compile so that we can track down the problem.       -- Brian Matsuo, Technical Support Stormix Technologies Inc. 555 West Hastings Street, Suite 2040 Vancouver, BC Canada V6B 4N6 Phone:  (604)688-9137 Fax:    (604)688-7317 http://www.stormix.com/ ------------------DISCLAIMER--------------------- Opinions expressed in this e-mail are not necessarily those of my employer.
