Here's the situation: I got the linux driver for Netgear's FA311 Network Card from www.skyld.com that uses the National Semiconductor Chip. I am using RedHat 7.2 The new drivers COMPILE just fine (with a change in the source to use linux/slab.h instead of malloc.h because of deprecation) The pci-scan.o drivers goes into the kernel just fine with 'insmod pci-scan.o' however, the actual driver: natsemi.o also compiles just fine. When I 'insmod natsemi.o' to test it, I get: 'natsemi.o: init_module: No such device Hint: incorrect insmod errors module parameters including invalid IO or IRQ parameters' It appears that init_module is a function located in the driver, however I didn't not find a function call for that function anywhere in the whole driver. But the file had way too many pre-processor commands for me to attempt to go commenting stuff. Anyway......the driver does compile, but won't insmod correctly. My Netgear card is recognized, but when I 'lspci -v', I get a listing that doesn't have an IRQ # on it. All the other listings have one except the card. I tried install the drivers into /lib/..... anyway, and went to linuxconf, but it fails to initialize the card. Does ANYONE have any suggestions? I would really appreciate. I pretty much exhausted all the details above. Thanks. extra info: lspci -v gives: O1:0a.O Ethernet Controller National Semiconductor Subsystem: Netgear: Unknown device f311 Flags: bus master, fast Back2Back, medium devsel, latency 90 IO ports: 2800 disabled size=256 Memory @ f4101000 (non=prefetchable) disabled size=4k Expansion rom at 64k Notice no IRQ# listed. THANKS guys.

Actually, natsemi driver should come with rh 7.2. Here's what I did to get it to work: add this line "alias eth0 natsemi" to /etc/modules.conf then run kudzu again, and it should recognize it.
