Re: SIOCADDRT : No such device
Hi,
When you configured your kernel (with 'make menuconfig' or 'make
xconfig'), did you select the rtl8139 driver? This is under the
Network Devices options, 10/100 MBPS. I personally suggest compiling
it as a module so that an "M" shows up next to it in the square
brackets.
For compiling the kernel, do:
make depend
make bzImage (but this depends on the architecture; for i386 I like this)
make modules
make modules_install
The modules_install places the modules in the /lib/modules directory.

It's a part of the kernel but can be compiled:
1) Into the kernel (I don't recommend this one because it's less
flexable)
or
2) As a module.
When the compilition is done (and the modules compilation if using
step (2) above), be sure ad do "make modules_install". That "installs"
the modules by placing them in a standard location (/lib/modules).

Most likely because the module utilities (modutils) aren't able to
find the modules.
