The 8139too driver is compiled into the bf24 kernel series. But it is a modules in other kernel series. > I then exited the installation and reinstalled because I need that > driver.

But when you install a modular kernel, which I recommend, then you will need to add 8139too to /etc/modules. You can just edit the file. Or 'modconf' works wonderfully. Once you are running a modular kernel it will then show up in the modconf list. > When I finished the install I used apt-get to install the 2.4.18-bf > kernel. > > When I do lsmod the 8139too does not show up yet my NIC works.
