[Quantian-general] network card configuration

[JP Azevedo]

Dear Dirk,
Which version of gcc did you use to compile the Quantian Kernel? gcc-3.3 or
gcc-4.0? I've used modinfo e100 to find out the details of the driver, and
found out that the vermagic reads: 2.6.12 SMP preempt 386 gcc-4.0 
The kernel version is right, the problem can be with the gcc.
Cheers,
JP

I've posted a message to a Knoppix form as well (http://www.knoppix.net/).
Would suggest any other forum?
Cheers,
JP

Not sure what else to suggest -- did you try the Knoppix forums, eg at
www.knoppix.net ?  Quantian 0.7.9.2 is based on Knoppix 4.0.2, maybe you can
find some help there.  

Best regards, Dirk
