I added eepro100 which is a working module into the initrd line of the kernel file, but the system still isn't initializing the

place where it does a probe for the card and loads modules.

You must be a stupid engineer then, because politcs and technology have been attached at the hip since the 1st dynasty in Ancient Egypt. I guess you missed that one."
