Re: Ethernet not found

Try this when modconf asks for the command line:
  io=0x200 irq=your_card's_irq

If you don't know the irq just leave it out and see if it works. You can also 
try the insmod utility from command line with something like:
  insmod card_driver_module io=0x200 irq=the_irq

If you do that you also have to fix your /etc/conf.modules. This is what it 
looks like for my 3c509 module:
  options 3c509 io=0x300 irq=10 

Since you probably want it to load automatically during boot /etc/modules 
needs some work too. Again this is what I have:
  3c509
Just a single line with the name of the module is enough. 

These examples are for a 3c509 card but I think most of the cards understand 
the io and irq parameters. However this only worked for me after I run pnpdump 
which comes with the isapnptools package.

The modconf utility in /usr/sbin is the same that is run during the install 
procedure. Modconf takes care of the /etc/modules and /etc/conf.modules 
updating so you don't have to fix them by hand.
