potato install and module 3c59x.c

[Marcelo Chiapparini <chiappa@uerj.br>]

Hello to all!

I am installing potato 2.2r2 from the distribution CDs in a new machine which 
has the 3c905c NIC. After selected the 3c59cx module and complete a minimal 
installation, I can't put the NIC to work. I searched in the archives and I 
found that this was already a problem with other people in the past. All of 
them compiled the last version of the module and apparently this fixed the 
problem. I have the las version of the module now, the 3c59x.c. The problem is 
that I have no idea what to do in order to install this module together with 
potato. Perhaps this should enter as a third part driver during the 
installation, but I don't know how. Any help regarding this problem will be 
very appreciated.

Thanks ins advance,

Marcelo
