ok the following is the directions on how to get my ethernet card to work in linux:


step 1: make sure that kernel source code is included
(check /usr/src/linux)

step 2: recompile kernel:
cd to /usr/src/linux, them type 'make menuconfig'

select the following options(mark them as '*')
.enable module support
.networking support
.TCP/IP networking
.network device support
.ethernet
.ne2000/ne1000 support
step 3: after options are selected, exit and run
make dep;make clean;make zImage;
if no serious error happens, the new kernel 'zImage' will be in
/usr/src/linux/arch/i386/boot/zImage.
copy this file to root.
modify '/etc/lilo.conf' file to point to this new file.
run 'lilo'
reboot


step 4: when system boots, the driver will be load. then the driver will
scan {0x300,0x280,0x320,0x340,0x360} port to see if a card is
there.
(you can run 'dmesg' to see the boot message)
ps: in some case, PNPISA may assign ioports not in the range. you
can use 'rset8019' (in DOS) to set the card in jumpless mode
and set ioaddr to one of these ioport.

step 5: run netconfig to setup TCP/IP
(run 'ifconfig' or 'netstat -i' to see if there is a interface
'ne0')




could somebody explain how to do the parts in bold, thanks in advance

exit menuconfig (has an exit option)
# make dep &amp;&amp; make clean &amp;&amp; make zImage

[/i]

cp zImage /boot/zImage (or where ever your original kernel is located)
For lilo.conf, just copy the original entry and change the word linux to linux2 or whatever. If you have a different name for the new kernel (try to make it different than the name of the original kernel) put that name in place of the previous kernel name in your new entry.
