when I try to load the network card module I get an error saying that is impossible to load the module lance32 ; my machine has 2 ADM PCNET ethernet adpter, so the driver should be the right one (I used it on SuSE ppc 7.0) , I also tried to remove one of the adapters (the one on PCI BUS) but unfortunately nothing changed. I tried also the autoprobing, but it didn't load the network module.
Hmmm, just a quick guess: Most of the known drivers are allready compiled into the kernel itself. Are you really sure that you need to load a module?
Wel I think so, becouse I'm trying the ftp installation, and if I try to go on and I select "start installation" the system complains about the need of a network module
Is there something that I'm missing ? could you suggest me something ?
Some more info about the network cards might help.
well I have 2 nics, one is integrated into the rs6000 , the other is on the pci bus ; doing a lspci I get :

Well, as far as I understood your mail, you tried it once with no succes, than you removed the PCI card ... did you also try just to use the other one without to remove it? Furthermore, what happens if you do a 'modprobe pcnet32' ? Any error messages?
