Hi , I am haveing linux kernel version 2.4.7-10 which came along with red hat 7.2.I have a realtek 8139 n/w card and its corresponding module file is 8139too.o The /etc/modules.conf file has many entries one of which (i suppose) for the n/w card is alias eth0 8139too When i initially installed I could see many modules when i executed lsmod or cat /proc/modules.I concluded that my loadable modules were enabled. Later on i compiled the same kernel and choose my network card to be in-built.I didnt change nething else and also i didnt change any files in /etc directory. The problem is not only my network card refuses to work but when i do lsmod or /proc/modules i couldnt see any modules loaded. I did ps- ax and i saw that kernel event deamon was running(i.e the loadable modules support is indeed enabled). Also now if i choose the network card support as a loadable module and again compile the kernel it works fine.And when i do lsmod i can see the 8139too and my audio modules loaded. I would like to know why does my network card refuses to work when i configure it as a in-built.Do i have to make changes to /etc/modules.conf ? Thanks and regards, Abhi |
