I have a PC with a nforce2 based motherboard. After booting DSL 2.2 I note the my network is not activated. After doing a lsmod I noticed that forcedeth was not loaded. When using other versions of Linux (i.e. MEPIS 3.3.1 which is based upon kernel 2.4.29) I have the same issue. However if I issue the command "insmod forcedeth" the module loads fine and my eth0 port is then active. When attempting this same command with DSL 2.2 I receive the following error:

"using /lib/modukes/2.4.26/kernel/drivers/net/forcedeth.o
/lib/modules/2.4.6/kernel/drivers/net/forcedeth.o:init_module: no such device"

Is this kernel difference issue between MEPIS 3.3.1(kernel 2.4.29) vs DSL 2.2 (kernal 2.4.26)?

Thanks for any assistance offered

Does it work with DSL version 2.1b (newer kernel 2.4.31)?

Yes it does. Looks like DSL 2.2 went back to an older 2.4.x based kernel...not sure why. Does that mean a different version of forcedeth must be used?

Use DSL2.1b.
Is there something in 2.2 that you need that's not in 2.1b?
