I have installed Ubuntu 7.1 (which uses the 2.6.22 Linux kernel) but I get an error "device not found" when I do 'ifconfig eth0'. I now suspect that it's a driver issue. I have downloaded the tar.gzip package for the base driver. The readme file suggests that doing a 'make install' in the correct directory will compile the driver module. Is this what you found? I'm baffled that this driver support does not seem to be built in to Ubuntu server version 7.1. Or perhaps I have a different problem. Any comments?
