question

[Igor Gueths]

Hi Greg. The driver could be loading at boot time. In fact, it mentions eth0 when it successuflly probes for the card and mac address. However, when I log in and check /dev to make sure that eth0 is in fact there, I get the following: ls: eth0: no such file or directory. Does this mean that the card didn't properly initialize into a device file? How could I fix this? Thanks in advance!

But when the kernel is booting, it tells me the driver version and all the information regarding the card itself such as mac address. So I believe that this means that the driver is in the kernel? I believe this is so, however for some reason the tulip driver might not be loading?
