Dear Pete and Ed, Thanks for your responses. Your suggestions worked like a charm. It brought up the eth1 interface (of course, Pete was right about eth1 :) ) but I had this error during reboot. I am assuming that it was due to the fact that this module is an unsupported third party generic module. Finding module dependencies: depmod *** Unresolved symbols in <module-path-was-displayed-here> Thank you anyway, KT --- Pete Nesbitt <pete@xxxxxxxxx> wrote: > On February 11, 2004 08:59 pm, Edward Dekkers wrote: > > NV Karyadarsi wrote: > > > Hello everybody, > > > > > > I joined the mailing list today and I have a > problem. > > > I have Redhat 9 installed on my Intel box.
