New question about OS hang up.

[Nickolas Falkner]

Hi Kinggo,

Firstly, it's just Nick. :)

Secondly, you don't have to recompile the kernel to try a new network 
driver.

Edit your /etc/modules.conf file and change the line:

alias eth0 <whatever it is>

to

alias eth0 de4x5

Save this file and then reboot.

For your information, here's a page that describes the de4x5.c driver 
and shows which cards it supports (yours is one of them):

http://joshua.raleigh.nc.us/docs/linux-2.4.10_html/299123.html

Don't worry about making any of the changes mentioned in the driver 
comments.

Cheers,
Nick.
