Forgot to mention that - I already have it in there.
I booted into the old kernel and lsmod does not show the driver, so it was
compiled into the old kernel evidently. The config file for the new kernel
shows net_vendor_3com=y
How can I tell if the 3c59x module is actually compiled into the new kernel?
I did discover a line in /var/log/syslog.0 that says "modprobe: can't locate
module eth1"
In modules.conf I have
alias eth1 3c59x
I put append="ether=0,0,eth1" in lilo.conf and ran lilo, rebooted. No
change.
