Hi Nitin, One probable reason is you not included support for this card during kernel compilation. What you can do is find the driver in the sources, compile it and insert it in the kernel now try to initialize eth0 using ifconfig. It works you can automate this task by putting insmod command in required rc script HTS -Aniruddha -----Original Message----- From: nitin panjwani [mailto:nitin_rpr@yahoo.com] Sent: Tuesday, October 22, 2002 7:44 AM To: kernelnewbies@nl.linux.org Subject: delaying eth0 initialization Hi Folks, I have PC with 3com's card c3509B.
