Hmmm... Thanks Peter<br>
Actually - this is quite a big problem. It seems like new kernels come
along reasonably often - and my intention was to leave this machine in
a corner somewhere without any screen and manage it through nx and
webmin. I have seen the problem already because as soon as it was on
the Internet it got a new kernel - and after rebooting it couldn't find
the eth0 again.<br>
I did just the insmod part of the procedure - and the network came up
again - but as soon as I reboot it disappears again. I realise now that
i really need to repeat the whole procedure with the appropriate
version of kernel-devel. I have since done this, and it now boots OK.<br>
<br>
I guess there is nothing I can do but wait and hope for redhat to fix
the driver - is there?<br>

All working. Amazing really. I now have my Centos 5 on the Internet.
I wonder whether it is worth re-installing Cebtos 5 and trying to get my
new driver (.ko file presumably) to load off a USB drive at install time.
Do you think this would be straight forward. Is there anything to gain?

That wouldn't be entierly trivial, and you wouldn't gain anything. Now just
remember the steps you took so you can repeat them when the next security
update kernel comes around.
