Davicom Tulip Ethernet card
I have the Davicom Tulip Ethernet card. In Fedora Core 6 I have to run:
# rmmod tulip
# rmmod dmfe
# modprobe dmfe
to get internet access. However I have to do this everytime I reboot. How can I make this permenant? And why don't these commands result in a permenant change?

Yves.
A belated thanks Yves. That appears to be working! The /etc/modprobe.preload file had no enteries until I added dmfe. If it works it works. Thanks again.
