I had no problem since here, but on Linux 2.6.0-i386-stable kernel is refusing to load the module : -- $ insmod dmfe.o insmod: error inserting 'dmfe.o': -1 Invalid module format $ lspci | grep Davicom 00:0a.0 Ethernet controller : Davicom Semiconductor, Inc. Ethernet 100/10 Mbit (rev 31) -- I tried to load the module by various ways : with old (for 2.4.20) and new (from 2.6.0 stable) compiled driver, but that didn't work. I quickly looked at the source code which seems quite old. I can't actually help you in having a deeper workaround because I don't yet have sufficient technical skills for that. I'm working on a Debian Sarge testing prerelease. Have fun in debug ;p Regards, Thadeum. _________________________________________________________________ Help STOP SPAM with the new MSN 8 and get 2 months FREE* http://join.msn.com/?page=features/junkmail
