That will tell you what driver it is using for what device. If it works while booted on the Live CD, then that driver is most likely what you need. Take the name of the driver, then search for it in menuconfig. You hit the "/" key to search. Its like the ? key without hitting shift. It should show you exactly where the driver is located so you can go enable it. Then you just recompile the kernel and copy it to /boot. This is what the output should look like: 01:08.0 Ethernet controller: Davicom Semiconductor, Inc. Ethernet 100/10 MBit (rev 31) Subsystem: ARCHTEK TELECOM Corp Device 0008 Flags: bus master, medium devsel, latency 32, IRQ 16 I/O ports at 9800 [size=256] Memory at df002000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=256] [virtual] Expansion ROM at 88100000 [disabled] [size=256K] Capabilities: [50] Power Management version 1 Kernel driver in use: dmfe The last line is the key. If I were searching for that driver, I would search for dmfe and enable it as built in or a module. If that command doesn't show the driver, then you may need to start with some of the other commands to see what you can test to get it working. Dale :-) :-)
