Re: NIC - ifconfig - urgent!

[Desperado <b hou student qut edu au>]

Please pardon me for my ignorance. Can you kindly tell me what's the
difference in compiling the driver directly into the kernel and as a module?
Also, I would like to know why is it that the card wouldn't work with the
NE2000 driver?

Thanks and Regards
