Some of the ne2000 cards may work compiled directly into the kernel, but I havn't come across any of them yet.
I have a Realtek8029 (pci) and a Realtek8019(isa) ; both are NE2000 cards. They are on different machines, and both are built into the kernel. They both need to be declared in conf.modules to get them to work. I guess it depends on what you mean by "built into the kernel". I have the ethernet NE2000 support for the cards built with an "*" , rather than "M" in make menuconfig.
yes. * means in my terms "direct into the kernel" and M means as a module. I was very annoyed when I had an ftp install from the boot disk with my ne2000 clone and couldnŽt use it after my setup was complete. My workaround was to compile it into the kernel (*). Later I learned about conf.modules. ThatŽs why I switched to modules Juergen -- ========================================== __ _ Juergen Braukmann mail: brauki@cityweb.de| -o)/ / (_)__ __ ____ __ Tel: 0201-743648 dk4jb@db0qs.#nrw.deu.eu| /\\ /__/ / _ \/ // /\ \/ / ==========================================_\_v __/_/_//_/\_,_/ /_/\_\ - To get out of this list, please send email to majordomo@suse.com with this text in its body: unsubscribe suse-linux-e Check out the SuSE-FAQ at <A HREF="http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/"><A HREF="http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/</A">http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/</A</A>> and the archiv at <A HREF="http://www.suse.com/Mailinglists/suse-linux-e/index.html"><A HREF="http://www.suse.com/Mailinglists/suse-linux-e/index.html</A">http://www.suse.com/Mailinglists/suse-linux-e/index.html</A</A>>
