Hello, I've just installed Crux 2.2 on a PC with a brand new Netgear FA-311 network card. I'm trying to launch the driver adding the statement /sbin/modprobe natsemi to the /etc/rc.d/net script. However, I found that this module probably isn't installed. How do I proceed to upgrade my system? Best regards, Helge Fredriksen

You need to either compile a new kernel with the natsemi code built in (then you wont need to modprobe it) or build the module in whiuch case you can just build and install the modules. Normally a system will automatically load the modules so you shouldn't need to modprobe at all. HTH, Joe
Could you give me some clues as to which section in the kernel setup I should look in? I tried to have a look, but couldn't seem to locate it in a intuitive manner... Regards, Helge F. On 12/31/06, Joe Gilmour <jgilmour@bigpond.net.au> wrote:

If that is DP83815 chip just set CONFIG_NATSEMI=m (or 'y'). In 'make menuconfig' that driver is under "Device Drivers->Network device support->Ethernet (10 or 100Mbit)->National Semiconductor DP8381x series PCI Ethernet support" With recent udev port/rules you'll probably get that module autoloaded. See first action in /etc/udev/rules.d/26-modprobe.rules. -- Mikhail Kolesnik ICQ: 260259143 IRC: mike_k at freenode/#crux, rusnet/#yalta
