I have some problem in my computer. Why i can't use network device? and i have recompile kernel
Error report like this :
----------------------------
modprobe via-rhine && modprobe n2ek-pci

Please , i need any help

What is your nic model? Did you add support for it in your kernel? To see if you did or not run:

Code:

cat /usr/src/linux/.config|grep -i via-rhine
cat /usr/src/linux/.config|grep -i ne2k-pci

Mind that the second module name is ne2k-pci and not n2ek-pci

i have recompile kernel that support via-rhine and ne2k-pci.

What IRQ means?
I have check in .config. but there is empty

IRQ is the interrput number used by your nic. In the modern harware with pci bus it's automatically assigned from BIOS. You can run

Code:

cat /proc/interrupts
or 
lspci -v (for pci devicces)

to see the IRQs used by your hardware.

It should not be empty. How did you recompile the kernel?

make dep ; make bzImage && make modules modules_install. What wrong ?

I don't see any "make install". Perhaps it's a typo because you should also run "make modules_install" and not "make modules modules_install". Better take a look at the first post here to see the steps you have to take with a lot of usefull comments. In short the correct order should be:

Code:

make menuconfig ;configure the kernel
make ;compile
make modules_install ;install any modules
make install ;install kernel
vi /etc/lilo conf ;add new entry
lilo -v ;apply changes

yesterday i type :

1. make menuconfig
2. make dep ; make bzImage && make modules modules_install
3. cp -rf arch/i386/boot/bzImage /boot/vmlinuz-new
4. edit lilo.conf and type lilo
--- make modules modules_install mean --> make modules && make modules_install. Ok i will try
