Can you send me the "dmesg" output?

I changed the line in /etc/modules.conf from: alias eth0 off to: alias eth0 gmac
then ran "depmod -a"
after running "rcnetwork start" I received the same error messages as earlier:
Setting up network device eth0 SIOCSIFADDR: No such Device eth0: unknown interface: No such device SIOCSIFBRDADDR: No such device eth0: unknown interface: No such device SIOCSIFNETMASK: No such device done
The /var/log/messages file contains many "modprobe: modprob: Invalid line 200" ...223 etc
something is wrong with these lines. Try "insmod gmac" and "dmesg |tail", it should tell you something about PHY and such.
Running dmesg generates a lot of output, but I have no way of getting it from the notebook to this system to email to you, as the NIC is the problem, and I do not have an external floppy drive. Would you like to know anything in particular?
You can use hfsutils to copy files to a HFS partition dmesg > myfile hmount /dev/hda9 hcopy -t myfile : humount Gruss Olaf -- $ man clone BUGS Main feature not yet implemented...
