All right, making assurance doubly sure, I logged in using "su - root"
*and* did cd before /sbin/lsmod.

I see columns labelled Module, Size, and Used by. "e100" is not mentioned
in any of them -- and without a Net connection, I have no way to download
anything. Can I get it off the CDs, as I must have been doing before? 

Or is it there somewhere and has to be activated or enabled somehow?
