I just build a streams driver module. It was installed into the system
with add_drv and loaded with modload. I also set up a device in the
/devices and /dev for it. When I try to install it into my network
stream I get the following message.

ifconfig: fail to insert module: base: Invalid argument

It appears that the module "base" cannot be found. Any suggestions?

You createed a streams driver?

That requires a streams *module*. (installed in /kernel/strmod)

Heh. Looks like he used my "PCIbase" sample skeleton, and didnt read the
notes about "This is not a STREAMS driver"

[Oh yeah, recognize the name. Hi Steve :-) ]

If you're writing an ethernet type driver, you should be using the GLD
stuff as a starting point instead, anyways. Which IS mentioned on the same
page as my "base" download ;-)
