- No it is not. You will have to recompile the kernel. There is a readme
- (README?) in /usr/src/linux that may help you to get started - this is the

- be others ... I'll find out when (or if) I actually get the tcp working!

- Oh yeah. One especially important file is in /usr/src/linux/net and is
- called Space.c. Here you can set the settings for your ethernet card (irq,
- io address, memory ...). I wish you luck.
