Thanx, but that was where I started, with it built-in - I usually use no
modules.  So I rebuilt the kernel with built-in support after receiving
your response, and got the following on startup (I didn't get any
related messages in /var/log/messages, kern.log or syslog.  Any place
else to look for info?

The smc9.txt file in the Documentation directory of the kernel source
also stated that if I compiled the support in the kernel, I might have
to change the coding in the .c file.  I thought it would be easier to
try as a module and change parameters, but don't know what values to try.

4.  Loading the driver as a module :

        use:   insmod smc9194.o
        optional parameters:
                io=xxxx    : your base address
                irq=xx     : your irq
                ifport=x   :    0 for whatever is default
                                1 for twisted pair
                                2 for AUI  ( or BNC on some cards )

If modules do not work, what parameters should I try in the .c file? 
I'm willing to recompile and test, just wish I understood more about C,
etc., so I'll need some guidance.

Thanx,
