modules (net-pf-4 & net-pf-5)

Post by Kirk Blu » Thu, 16 Oct 1997 04:00:00



I just went out yesterday to the local puter store and got 2 shiny new
Kingston (NE2000 clone) ethernet cards . after several IRQ conflicts and
some swearing ( hehe ) both my linux box and my wifes Winblows95
ackknowledge the cards are there.
I can even ping my machine from hers ....
Problem is when I boot my machine it gives me the following errors ..

Oct15,1997:modprobe:can't locate net-pf-4
Oct15,1997:modprobe:can't locate net-pf-5
Oct15,1997:modprobe:can't locate net-pf-4
Oct15,1997:modprobe:can't locate net-pf-5

and says it cannot find network connection ...
I couldn't find any such modules on the slackware cd ..
any help as where i could get them would be appreciated :)
thanx in advance :)

1. error : module net-pf-4 and net-pf-5 not found????

From /usr/src/linux/Documentation/modules.txt (does the term RTFM mean
anything to you?):

You could add these lines as well, but they are only "cosmetic":

        alias net-pf-3 off      # no ax25 module available (yet)
        alias net-pf-4 off      # if you don't use the ipx module
        alias net-pf-5 off      # if you don't use the appletalk module
