Hi,

In slackware when I try to "/sbin/modprobe dmfe" I get the following error:

Quote
/lib/modules/2.4.29/kernel/drivers/net/dmfe.o.gz: init_module: No such
device
/lib/modules/2.4.29/kernel/drivers/net/dmfe.o.gz: Hint: insmod errors can be
caused by incorrect module parameters, including invalid IO or IRQ
parameters.
You may find more information in syslog or the output from dmesg
/lib/modules/2.4.29/kernel/drivers/net/dmfe.o.gz: insmod
/lib/modules/2.4.29/kernel/drivers/net/dmfe.o.gz failed
/lib/modules/2.4.29/kernel/drivers/net/dmfe.o.gz: insmod dmfe failed

Locate dmfe shows that the module is present. I confirmed it in mc. There is no info in dmesg or syslog.

As for init_module there is only a man page in slackware as in Fedora which I do not understand.

# locate dmfe
/lib/modules/2.4.29/kernel/drivers/net/dmfe.o.gz
/usr/src/linux-2.4.29/drivers/net/.dmfe.o.flags
/usr/src/linux-2.4.29/drivers/net/dmfe.c
/usr/src/linux-2.4.29/drivers/net/dmfe.o
/usr/src/linux-2.4.29/Documentation/networking/dmfe.txt

How to resolve? Short of looking for an ethernet card slackware can read correctly.

Regards

Peter
