I found that when compiling the 2.6.0-test9 for an athlon64 that the symbol "ip_compute_csum" was not found by several network modules including sk98lin with concerned me in perticular. A quick google search revealed that IA64 had a similar problem in test6 and that ksyms for x86-64 need to export "ip_compute_csum" to fix the problem. Here's a diff of the change I made. $ pwd /usr/src/linux-2.6.0-test9/arch/x86_64/kernel $ diff x8664_ksyms.c x8664_ksyms.c~ 217c217 < EXPORT_SYMBOL(ip_compute_csum); --- > After making this change I was able to recompile my kernel and it works because I am using my SK9521 to send this email. regards, -- Mark Lane, CET Hard Data Ltd www.harddata.com mark@harddata.com 780-456-9771
