This message normally means that eth0 doesn't exist. When asking a
question it would really help if you posted the relevant
config/scrips/output e.g what does your rc.d/net look like?

# more net
#!/bin/sh
#
# /etc/rc.d/net: start/stop network
#

case $1 in
start)
        /sbin/modprobe 3c59x
        /sbin/ifconfig lo 127.0.0.1
        /sbin/ifconfig eth0 10.0.0.10 netmask 255.255.255.0
        /sbin/route add default gw 10.0.0.138
#       /sbin/dhcpcd eth0
        ;;
stop)
#       killall -q /sbin/dhcpcd
        /sbin/ifconfig eth0 down
        /sbin/ifconfig lo down
        ;;
restart)
        $0 stop
        $0 start
        ;;

        echo "usage: $0 [start|stop|restart]"

What is the output of ifconfig?

ifconfig has only listing of the loopback device.

If you compiled the natsemi module as a module did
it load? What's the output of lsmod?

Didn't compile natsemi as a module, did a reconfigure of the kernel as adviced since
I couldn't find any support on my CD for making this as a module.

You can tell if the kernel you're running has the natsemi code available
by looking at the subdirectories of /sys/module.

Hmm, nope, couldn't see any natsemi stuff there.

Thanks,
