But, insmod did the trick. /sbin/insmod /lib/modules/2.6.8-1.538smp/kernel/drivers/net/e1000/e1000.ko and then, to bring up the network /sbin/ifconfig eth0 up It is up. I looked for the .2 version of mod tools on fedora.redhat.com and all I could find in rpm form was the .1 broken version. I think I will wait for tomorrow when the good stuff trickles into the download area. Thanks much BobG
