The system with the 2.4 kernel on it has them and I think that is what I put in my 2.6-11 test system as well. My 2.6 system doesn't have a modules.conf file so I will need to dig a little deeper. I suppose I could just open it up and look. But I am almost sure I put 3c905b cards in both test systems. - Greg -----Original Message----- From: Alan Cox [mailto:alan@lxorguk.ukuu.org.uk] Sent: Sunday, March 12, 2006 12:14 PM To: Greg Scott Cc: linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org; Bart Samwel Subject: RE: Router stops routing after changing MAC Address On Sul, 2006-03-12 at 09:34 -0600, Greg Scott wrote: > Bart and I had a private discussion about this.
