Ok, I compiled 2.4.5 on RH7.1 and everything works fine except the NIC is not recognized.I know it needs the Tulip driver but in xconfig I just don't see it.Tried oldconfig but that didn't work either.It is a Linksys card and works fine on a regular install on SuSE7.1,Drake8 and Libranet1.9.1,RedHat to for that matter.So,it must be something I'm missing.Anyone have an idea on this?BTW did this on 2.4.3 and 2.4.4 compile also.I'm only 6weeks old so
go easy on me! THANKS

Methinks there are still two tulip drivers: tulip.o and tulip-old.o (or something like that). Can you make it as a module? Hmmm....

Try to insert the module manually with insmod.
More info, man insmod
