Re: new Kernel 2.4 missing "Old Tulip" module ?
The structure of the /lib/modules directory has been changed in
the 2.4 kernels so I guess the modutils can't find the correct kernel module.
(try lsmod, it should list all modules that are currently loaded)
I don't know how to fix this however (see my previous mail :-)
