My module has been loading .   I have reinstalled quite a few times and it did
work everytime before but not now it seeems ..... This trouble started aftere
I installed an old ver of Debian on another partition..  However ,  I have
installed Redhat 4 times since and every time I get the message that it is
delaying initialization of eth0 .  I still have never compiled a kernel.  The
one it's using is the standard install for Red Hat 7

Thanks Nate
