insmod/modprobe frustrations

[Space Boy]

Ok, linux isn't seeing my second network card (for internet sharing). So I did some (a lot) of snooping around and think I found the right module.

The card is an SMC EZ card, from the docs that I have read, smc-ultra seems to be the module for me.

I've tried the following commands to load the module:

modprobe smc-ultra
modprobe smc-ultra io=0xNNN
modprobe smc-ultra io=0xNNN irq=MM
insmod smc-ultra
insmod smc-ultra io=0xNNN
insmod smc-ultra io=0xNNN irq=MM

all give me the same error message. "init_module: No such device or addres" and then tell me it might have incorrect parameters.

Anyone have any advice?

thanks in advance :)

Aaron, look in your /lib/modules/net for the module... You will notice that it's modulename.o

I could be wrong, but try this.

insmod modulename.o

I just installed the module for my nix, all i did was insmod tulip.o

Good Luck

well that will just give the same results since basically modprobe is a script that calls insmod. I know someone will argue with that but I did say basically I know it's more complex. :)
