    3c509b card not working at boot time

    Hello,

    I have been successful in installing Knoppix to my HD (making it Debian really), but have been having a problem with my network card. Here is the deal:

    I can run these commands and the card works great - I have perfect connectivity...
    modprobe 3c509
    ifconfig eth0 192.168.0.13 netmask 255.255.255.0 broadcast 192.168.0.255
    route add default gw 192.168.0.1 metric 1

    However, when I try to make these settings permanent (using the following method)...
    --------------------------------------
    1) insmod 3c509
    -this found the card on the right addresses, and appeared to load the module without problem.

    2) added this line to etc/modutils/aliases:
    alias eth0 3c509

    3) added these lines to /etc/network/interfaces:
    iface eth0 inet static
    address 192.168.0.13
    netmask 255.255.255.0
    network 192.168.0.0
    broadcast 192.168.0.255
    --------------------------------------

    The card driver doesn't load at boot time. I tried reading the howto's for ethernet and networking to make sure that I did everything correctly, but am still lost. Anybody think they know what I am doing wrong?

    Thanks,
    Dan

    Did you run update-modules after changing the aliases file? If not you did not actually change anything except the file the modules.conf did not get updated. If you did this then put the module name in /etc/modules and it will be loaded on boot.

    That was it

    Thank you, I did not know what file was being called to load in the modules. A total n00b question, but I thank you for your time!
