Question 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?

In /etc/modprobe.preload, add this line:
Code:
dmfe
and remove the "tulip" line if any.
In /etc/modprobe.conf, add this line:
Code:
alias eth0 dmfe
and remove the previous "alias eth0 ..." if any.

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.
