OK Patrick I did like you said and entered tail rtl8139.c. It gave me some compile commands and I tried them but all I get is "bash: gcc: command not found". Am I supposed to be in a certain directory to access the gcc command? How do I find what directory a file is in without going through every directory? Just a note here FYI I am using Clarkconnect which is based on the 7.2 version of Redhat, just in case it makes a difference.Thanks again, Cliff
