hi all Iam using red Hat 9 and the kernel version -2.4.20-8 Ethernet driver :Broadcom 440x 10/100 Integrated Controller As the OS did not detect the card,I found the driver in the net and installed and everything was fine.........until,I had to apply mqueue patch to the kernel. So after applying the patch: make dep make bzImage cp the bzImage to the /boot directory added a new entry in the grub.conf When I boot with this new kernel image,there will be a message saying :bcm440 device eth0 does not seem to be present from the system settings if I try to activate eth0 ,it gives an error message! what might've gone wrong! Cud anybody give me some suggetions thanks in advance regards suma -- Kernelnewbies: Help each other learn about the Linux kernel.
