Yeah, that is what I intended to say, sorry for that. Probably I was sleepy ...
But worst than not finding the module to be loaded, is executing
"lsmod" and having nothing listed. I tried to compile the kernel
following the guidelines in the handbook, like make menuconfig, make
and make module_install. But it seems the the modules were not
generated.

I tried "find /usr/ -iname "*"3c59x*" but only the source code was
listed. I was expecting to find the "*.ko". What I missed?

I see the problem is not relative to the nic module, but to any module.
Guess I should gather more details and start a new thread.
