I recompiled and made it a module this time. No problems now. Thanks :)

This worked too - thanks much :)

Just one more question... I still get the notorious "SIOCADDRT: Invalid
argument" error on bootup. I've read all over the place that the
solution to this is to comment out the "route add -net" line in
/etc/init.d/network. However, I already did this, and I still get the
message. Any ideas, anyone?

Still, everything seems to be working great now, so thank you for all
your help :)

Stuart.
