When I boot the notebook with an external USB-Harddisk (with XUbuntu, Kernel 2.6.15), my network-card is identified as eth0 and among other modules the module uli526x (and rt2500 for the WLAN, but I don't want to use that) are loaded and I have access to the internet. As I couldn't find the module uli526x in DSL (I can boot it with an 256 MB-USB-stick), I tried to copy the module of Kernel 2.6.15 into 2.6.12, changed modules.dep and made depmod -a . When I tried modprobe uli526x, this failed as I have expected.... Where can I get the appropriate module uli526x for the DSL 2.6.12 kernel ? How can I save the settings then (DSL is fully copied into RAM) ? Thank you very much.

Or google for the source for your module. Use backup/restore as described in the help button in dslpanel.

According to the readme.txt I should compile the kernel. But I can't do that with DSL-N So maybe the best thing would be, to wait for a new kernel version in DSL-N, where the module will be included.

Thank you once again. Here I also haven't found my module. What I have understood is, that ndiswrapper "only" supports WLAN-cards. O.k., I have one inside, but I don't want to use it (I also don't have the other hardware, like a WLAN-router, etc.). I also saw, that ndiswrapper has also to be compiled out of the sources, and that's another problem with DSL-N...
