Hi

With Kernel 2.4.6, when I compile the Tulip driver as a module, I don't have network connectivity. I can ping myself, and netstat -rn gives the same table as with earlier kernels, but I can't connect to any of the other computers on my network. (network = 1 pentium 120, and 1 pentium 133 running a 2.2.16 and a 2.0.36 kernel respectively.) (the module is loaded correctly and I have all the correct levels of support programs as listed in the Changes file.) When I compile the Tulip driver directly into the Kernel, it works.

I would be happy to provide more information to anybody who wants to try to figure this one out, just ask me what you need to know.

Thanks

I haven't had this problem. I did my compile last p.m. and so far my Compaq Deskpro is running better than ever. Which tulip based card are you running? Mine is a Linksys 10/100. More detail please. I'm doing a modular load also.
