Hello,

Before anything, make sure that the "e100.o" module is not yet included in your Mandrake 8.1.

To check that :

modprobe -a e100

If it works, you can set it permanently by :

-> Editing /etc/modules.conf to add (or change) the following line :

alias eth0 e100

-> Typing the following command in order to rebuild the module dependency graph :

depmod -a


If the module is not included in Mandrake 8.1, please let us know.

Good luck.
