| I've been fooling around with an older version of Redhat (5.1) for the
purposes of tweaking the source (the rationale is that an older, less
feature-rich version would be easier to navigate through). Anyway, now
I remember why I abandoned this version; when I set up my NIC, an
ether16 using the ne module (io=0x240, irq=05), and then ran "insmod
ne.o", I get the following message:
ne.o: unresolved symbol ei_open
ne.o: unresloved symbol ethdev_init
....same for ei_debug, ei_interrupt, NS8390_init, ei_close
I suspect I would find these symbols in the C source code but have no
idea what to do with them. I know most of you are light years beyond
5.1, but if you know off hand what the problem is, please respond.
Thanks

did you run depmod? It should resolve the module dependencies
for you, such that modprobe will load any required modules which
'ne' is dependent upon. If you are using insmod instead of
modprobe, you need to ensure that you've loaded any dependencies
first.
ei_open is a module symbol in the 8390 driver. Try
insmod /lib/modules/$(uname -r)/kernel/drivers/net/8369.o
before loading your driver.
