Hello,

This might be a very basic question, but anyway I don't know how go
ahead ...

I am making a few changes to the source code of 3c59x.c (for the time
being, only a few printk's). However, nothing seems to happen, as the
drivers continues to behave just as before. My working sequence is:

1) edit and save /usr/src/linux/drivers/net/3c59x.c
2) cd /usr/src/linux-2.2.16
3) make modules
4) make modules_install
5) reboot

My /etc/modules.conf contains:

alias   eth0   3c59x

I would be most grateful if someone could point me my mistake(s).

Thanks in advance,
Marcus.
