[ixp1200] fixing module versioning Was: RE: booting over PCI (ENP boards)...

[Willem de Bruijn]

He Ricardo,

  from what I read your problem really isn't IXP specific. To get modules 
loaded in the first place I suggest you remove the EXTRAVERSION tag. Linux 
fails to load modules built for other systems, but in most cases 2.4.18 
modules can be easily swapped. This is especially true of the pciDg drivers, 
as they're fairly simple. Simply rebuild them for 2.4.18 (or switch your 
kernel back to 2.4.17)

  Second, when the modules have been loaded succesfully try to look at your 
kernel message log with dmesg for statements regarding failure of network 
device detection. If nothing comes up you might want to do an ifconfig -a to 
see if a new device exists. 

 I hope this helps. For more information on modules you might want to check 
out the kernel module programming guide or the all round excellent resource 
Linux Device Drivers published by O'Reilly and freely available at
