I think Martin was speaking about kernel modules. To know what modules are loaded, issue the 'lsmod' command.Modules are additional drivers that can be dynamically loaded into the kernel, for additionnal functionnality and/or hardware support. They can be found by categories into /lib/modules/YOUR_KERNEL_VERSION/kernel/CATEGORIES (just replace YOUR_KERNEL_VERSION and CATEGORIES by the good values).
If you find modules of which the name could be of significant interest for you needs, issue the 'modprobe' command like in the following example :
- I have Intel Pro 100 NIC, and driver is a module called e100.ko. - I issue 'modprobe e100' - Messages are saying if it works or fail. - 'lsmod' shows that e100 module is loaded and used. - ifconfig is showing eth0 ;)In your case, i think you show first submit here the modules loaded you have, we will go step by step ;)
Thanks again for your assistance and patience, --Gary

What should I look for?Can you check which kind of modules are loaded and maybe load some more?
