If you compiled it as module, you should add an alias to |
| 11 |
|
| 12 |
/etc/modules.d/aliases |
| 13 |
|
| 14 |
for example: alias eth0 tg3 |
| 15 |
|
| 16 |
and run update-modules. |
| 17 |
|
| 18 |
You may also have to add the module to /etc/conf.d/modules for loading at |
| 19 |
boot. |
| 20 |
|
| 21 |
Alternatively, you could just compile the driver(s) into the kernel ("Y" in |
| 22 |
menuconfig). |
