I am running YDL 2.1 with kernel 2.4.10-12a.
I have a network running on the integrated NIC that comes with my G4.
I have added a second NIC (MacSense by xsense that uses the Realtek
(rtl8139) chipset.) to this machine.
I went to Web and found a driver, downloaded the source and compiled
driver. This compilation yielded 2 files: pci-scan.o and rtl8139.o.
I then do:
insmod pci-scan.o
insmod rtl8139.o
to bring up the interface. Hey, it works.
My problem is this. Where do I need to call these in order for the
interface to come up at boot? I want both (the current eth0 and the new
eth1) to be activated at boot. Will they be inserted in that order (I
have tried to insert rtl8139.o without the pci-scan.o and it fails)?
Currently I have them in /lib/modules/2.4.10-12a/net.
Thanks,
David McInnis
