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 Unquote 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.
