Modinfo does produce that result. But "the network doesn't work". My environment is a VirtualBox VM of Centos 8 on top of Windows 10. I've defined a bridged adaptor. The hardware is the Broadcom adaptor, using DHCP. No firewall is running in Centos 8 yet. This exact configuration works fine with Centos 7. The symptom I see is that DHCP, Ping, DNS Lookup all work, but no data transfer seems to work. I tried a CURL command to a local web machine (works with Centos 7), and it just hangs. The web server does not see the request. When I switch the network adaptor (in the VM) to NAT, everything works, probably indicating that the selection of the adaptor is the problem. I used the NAT interface to complete the install. Do you have any ideas? David
