Hi Gary, Hold on a moment. Didn't you say before that "I gave away my 6.4 distro"?? Have you got installed the "lx_suse" (The sources of the SuSE kernel) packet from your distro CD's, if not then you can't "rebuild the kernel" because you have not got the sources. Better ask your friend to share it shortly. BUT first also read Jack Malone's post, he states something very helpful and related. ---- Gary Kline wrote:

You need to get the very latest ethernet drivers from Donald Becker's site at:
http://www.scyld.com/network/updates.html ftp://ftp.scyld.com/pub/network/netdriver-2.0.src.rpm
It will not work with the old driver (at all). (I bought three of these at CompUSA also -- it is a small world.)
I'll second that! and even smaller amongst us hacker types :)

I've downloaded the netdriver-2.0.src and run rpm -i on the file. Becker's site says that I have to rebuild the kernel now. Is there some cheatsheet instruction on howto rebuild and install the SuSE kernel anywhere? Or can you give me the cookbook instructions? (eg)
% cd /usr/src/linux % make kernel; install kernel; % reboot...
...Can't be that simple, but whatever.
thanks for the driver info!!
