RE: Ethernet card not working after a clean kernel 2.4installation of Debian 3.0
Ok, thanks to Kent and Matt's response. It turns out that the module is not there and I have to what, compile the module or recompile the kernel. What would be the steps in both the cases? Any documents that I can read if this is a long process? Also, the Ethernet card that I have is 3c905B from 3Com. Where can I get the driver for this?
Best Regards,
Nabil.

commands you'll use:
lsmod (list loaded modules)
modprobe <module name> (load module)
to find out information about your cards (at least for a pci bus) do:
lspci -vv | less -S
and look for your ethernet controller. then go to the directory
/lib/modules/`uname -r`/kernel/drivers
(the "uname -r" part is the name of the running kernel)
and poke around until you find the corresponding module.
it will be something like tulip.o so to load run "modprobe tulip"
if it is not there, you'll have to compile the driver as a module or
into the kernel which we can help you with if you get to that point.
