[Peeweelinux] Configuring the Ethernet port

[Shawn Perkins]

Adi,
I selected the driver when I built the kernel. It was selected as an
asterisk and not an M. I don't know a lot about the loadable modules, is
there an additional step I would need to take?

Hi,

Did you include the network driver as module? If so, are you loading the

module before configuring IP?
