Re: Realtek rtl8139 nic and 2.4.20 kernel
Two other things that I noticed, which can be seen in the output data I
posted in my prior message, but which I did not really stress:
1)
a) When I do a search for 8139too, the actual module file, which is
8139too.o, was found in the directory for the 2.2 kernel.
b) Since I selected the 8139 driver when I built the 2.4 kernel, we
should also have a second 8139too.o somewhere in a 2.4 directory.
c) But there isn't, which makes me think that perhaps it was never
properly installed during the build.

When, as Uwe suggests, I run modconf in 2.4, its default directory is
> /lib/modules/2.4.23/kernel/drivers/net
But if I copy the 8139too.o file from the 2.2 kernel to that directory and
run modconf, it is rejected (as shown in verbose form in my prior message).
I am not saying that S. Keeling's suggestion of supplying the proper
address is not the solution, but even so, shouldn't I be showing another
8139too.o module, somewhere under a 2.4 directory?
2)
When I run "lsmod" under 2.2, I get a list of modules, including 8139too.
When I run "lsmod" under 2.4, I get nothing.
