Re: nrattach "Cannot find free NET/ROM device" error!

Hi Tomi -

Thank you for your response regarding the NETROM problems that I was
having.  YES...you were absolutely correct, somehow I did not get the
netrom module loaded.  I thought that I compiled it directly into the kernel
but I must have choosen an <M> during the kernel configuration.

Again, your help is most appreciated!

Regards,
