I downloaded the 2.4.14 sources, and tried again. Only this times I configured 2 things differently - I did *not* apply the kernel patches for Win4Lin; and I compiled USB directly into the kernel, instead of as a modules. (USB core support only; I kept the individual USB device support as modules - printer, scanner, etc). All worked like a charm; eepro100 loaded fine; ifup worked; all normal. Better than it had been, in fact - I had been having problems whenever I rebooted; it would hang most times when unloading the USB module, necessitating the Bid Red Switch. This time, it didn't. So then I added the Win4Lin kernel patches (leaving USB compiled directly in). I did get a message about an unmet dependency in the loop module (something about "de-activate page"), but I ignored it. I then recompiled, etc. All still works; eepro coming up; Win4Lin working; etc. Using that kernel now. Looking good so far. So I'm hoping that the problem was some kind of side effect of having the USB support as all modules, instead of my current config of core support compiled in; individual devices as modules. I've noticed that I had this problem since kernel 2.4.12. So I just kept using my old 2.4.10 - which does load with USB as modules, but seems to have troubles UNLOADING. Well, that's how I spent part of MY Saturday; how about you? :-) -- ------------------------------------------------------------------ Michael J.
