Very Computer

The problem I have is when I use the Kernel Daemon Configuration from teh
ControlPanel it asks me to select type and module.  I select type as "eth",
but when I go to select module there appears to be no driver for xircom
card.  Does anyone know what name of module should be,  and whether I need
to copy anything into lib/modules/2.2.14-12/net/ directory. I am relatively
new to Linux so fairly simple instructions would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Ken

Try it again, then immediately look at the log. This will give you (and
perhaps us) more insight into what the failure is.

As far as the control panel is concerned, my one (with a Xircom XEM5600 and
xirc2ps_cs/serial_cs) filled in automagically with the tulip driver.

This doesn't actually mention any failures at all. A couple of things spring
to mind tho:
1. Does the card have any other devices (such as modem) on it? It could be
that something else that isn't configured.
2. If you do -- at a prompt -- 'ifup eth0', what is the response?

If you are able to, send me /var/log/messages itself from the point it says
"shutting down socket 0". If you can't, email me so and I'll try to take you
through how you can.

And it is convention when replying in email and in the group to state that
fact at the top!

Cheers,
