<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I am trying desperately to upgrade the 2.2.16
kernel that comes with Slackware 7.1. I've downloaded the current glib,
modules, include files, and kernel sources. I've done make menuconfig; make dep,
make bzImage; make modules; make modules_install (edited lilo.conf to add
the new kernel) and booted up successfully with the new kernel.
The only problem is..(and it's a big one) I can't load the stinking
network card drivers. It doesn't find the 3c509 module
during boot and of course when I try to insmod the 3c509.o from the 2.2.16
modules directory it fails.</FONT></DIV>
