You need the mkiss module loaded as well, modprobe mkiss The mkiss module is not included with Red Hat Linux if I recall correctly, so you will have to rebuild your kernel. There is a Kernel-HOWTO avalilable to help guide your through the process if you are not familiar with it. I will note that Red Hat Linux 7.3 is beyond the "end-of-life" support from Red Hat Inc., you might want to consider Red Hat Linux 9 or Fedora core 1 as possible replaces in the near future. Good luck, and I hope that helps, -ve3tix
