I'm trying to do a methodical install (for once). 4.9 from a mini CD. 1st thing, when we get to kernel config menu, visual mode, no network devices show up active. In the inactive drivers section i see a little list of only six. question 1: this is hardly a comprehensive list, is it? there's no explanation in the handbook why it is so short. needless to say, my NIC is not included (as i suppose are many others not included) in hardware notes, i see my device, a 3c905B, requires xl(4) driver. the closest of the six i can choose from is a line that says: NE1000, NE2000,3C503,WE/SMC80xx Ethernet adapters 3C503 requires ed(4) driver question 2: what do i do now? tks. lee
