hi,
I just installed knoppix and I'm quite happy the X server works 'cause I wasn't able to make it run with a normal debian installation but now I have another problem. My 3c900b-TPO network card isn't recognized by knoppix (I think it's something with the kernel because when I installed Debian with the 2.4 kernel it didn't work neither (with the 2.2 kernel it worked immediatly...)).
I found a driver on the net that should be able to fix this problem but I can't get it installed. (http://www.scyld.com/network/vortex.html)
I had to make some changes because of depricated code in the source something about holloc.h (halloc.h??) and slab.h or something like that. The compiling of the driver went fine but when I want to install it I get this message:
root@frost:~/3com/3c90x-102# insmod /root/3com/3c90x-102/3c90x.o media_select=7
Warning: loading /root/3com/3c90x-102/3c90x.o will taint the kernel: no license
See http://www.tux.org/lkml/#export-tainted for information about tainted modules
/root/3com/3c90x-102/3c90x.o: init_module: No such device
Hint: insmod errors can be caused by incorrect module parameters, including invalid IO or IRQ parameters.
does someone know how to fix this...I really want to go on the net with my knoppix installation...
thx,
Frost
