Siri Amrit, Jay asked the right question. Apparently kanotix updates /etc/modules at boot time. It seems, (from a google search, since I don't use it) on kanotix you should do: echo eepro100 >>/etc/modules-$(uname -r) It's too bad that kanotix isn't true sid after the harddisk install. -Dale --------------------------------------------------- PLUG-discuss mailing list - PLUG-discuss@lists.plug.phoenix.az.us To subscribe, unsubscribe, or to change you mail settings: http://lists.PLUG.phoenix.az.us/mailman/listinfo/plug-discuss
