Re: 3com 3c59x.o module for Kernel 2.0.29

Hi again!

nearly there... :-)

ok> # cd /
ok> # tar -zxvf /tmp/3com_tar.gz
ok> # depmod -va

A listing of the modules is displayed.

ok> # modprobe -v 3c59x.o

Nothing happens. I assume this is a good sign...

The following notification is displayed:
rmmod: module 3c59x.o not loaded

The following notification is displayed:
bash: modconfig: command not found

I run a find for modconfig and no luck.  The closest I found was modconf. 
So I gave it a try and voila up came a neat menu :) I then unselected and
then reselected (just in case) the 3c90x driver.

When I booted I got a bunch of error messages... :-( (where can I find a
log of these messages?  Nothing on /var/log) In any case when I did a ping
at least I got some feedback :) The error was among other things:

ping: sendto: Network is unreachable

Pinging the linux from another system does not work (no activity).

Do you know what the problem might be?

Thanks.

Dave
