    Need help with getting linux to automatically load ethernet

    I have drivers that work, except after I restart the computer it stops working and I have to redo the make load of the drivers then do "ifconfig eth0 up" to get it working. Is there a config file I can edit to get it to load it automatically?

    put whatever commands you need to get your network card working in:
    /etc/rc.d/rc.local

    ok, one other question. The command I need to run is "insmod 3c200.o" and "ifconfig eth0 up" but the insmod 3c2000.o has to be run from my /home/josh/3c2000 folder. Do I just put "cd /home/josh/3c200" in the rc.local or what?

    Copy the "3c2000.o" to:

    /lib/modules/<KERNEL_VERSION_HERE>/kernel/drivers/net/3c2000.o
    /lib/modules/<KERNEL_VERSION_HERE>/kernel/drivers/net/3c2000.o

    No.

    After copying the .o file, just put the normal insmod command (insmod 3c2000.o) in your rc.local file.

    weird...because I put the whole thing in and it actually worked. so it looked like this:

    cd /home/josh
    insmod 3c2000.o
    ifconfig eth0 up

    I guess you can change directories on scripts then...cool
