I don't know how I would do this. I thought perhaps using modconf, as
Uwe recommended, might handle it.
Another pertinent point about this, is that the connection I have with
the 2.2 kernel is there by virtue of the fact that I manually designated
the 8139too module in the beginning of the net install process. The
first time around, when I installed directly from the CDs, I was also
unable to set up a connection, same as with 2.4. So I think that the
difference lies in the fact of directly doing the setup, rather than in
the kernels. Unfortunately, I can't do a net install with Sarge, because
it crashes after selecting the sixth item.
So I tried running modconf, and it only found a "dummy network card"
which didn't help. Then I did a few other things:
First, just to find out where the modules actually are, I did
debian:/home/chuck# lsmod
Module Size Used by
lockd 42420 0 (autoclean) (unused)
sunrpc 57816 0 (autoclean) [lockd]
nls_cp437 3896 2 (autoclean)
vfat 9428 1 (autoclean)
8139too 12600 1
af_packet 6152 1
unix 11352 67 (autoclean)
Then I did
debian:/home/chuck# locate 8139too
/lib/modules/2.2.20/net/8139too.o
/usr/src/linux-2.4.23/Documentation/networking/8139too.txt
/usr/src/linux-2.4.23/drivers/net/8139too.c
/usr/src/linux-2.4.23/include/config/8139too
/usr/src/linux-2.4.23/include/config/8139too.h
/usr/src/linux-2.4.23/include/config/8139too/8129.h
/usr/src/linux-2.4.23/include/config/8139too/pio.h
/usr/src/linux-2.4.23/include/config/8139too/tune
/usr/src/linux-2.4.23/include/config/8139too/tune/twister.h
debian:/home/chuck#
Then, to locate the kernel net drivers for 2.4
debian:/home/chuck# locate /lib/modules/2.4.23./kernel/drivers
/lib/modules/2.4.23/kernel/drivers
/lib/modules/2.4.23/kernel/drivers/net
/lib/modules/2.4.23/kernel/drivers/net/dummy.o
As you can see, the only thing there is the "dummy" driver, so I figured
I'd copy the 8139too driver to that directory and run modconf, and this
is what happened.
debian:/home/chuck# cp /lib/modules/2.2.20/net/8139too.o /lib/modules/2.4.23/kernel/drivers/net

depmod: *** Unresolved symbols in /lib/modules/2.4.23/kernel/drivers/net/8139too.o
I am still guessing that the problem needs to be solved by some kind of
manual installation of the module, maybe something in the order of the
suggestion by S. Keeling.
Thanks again,
Chuck
