Please forgive me if these are silly questions.
It is hard to determine what you may already know.

Do you try this on the command-line?

Have you ever compiled a kernel successfully? (any kernel)

If you are unable to complete a kernel build, what error messages are you receiving?

on an island ... somewhere in the Pacific

Re: i look for module 3c59x

The 3c59x driver is built into the ttylinux kernel. You should see a boot message with the name "Donald Becker" in it when you boot ttylinux on a system with a 3c59x device. ttylinux does not use kernel modules.

Enabling a ttylinux Ethernet interface after booting, whether it is 3c59x or not, is a different problem.

First, please confirm you see the line in the boot messages confirming the 3c59x driver. What is the computer?

When i am at home than can i Post the error Message.

I have yoused Sidux an Sidux use this driver for the ethernetcard. When i type "modprobe 3c59x" than ttylinux say that he can´t find am module in "***/modules" at the moment i test ttylinux on a Dell Optiplex GX150. But at the futer i will use it on an AXUS Thin Client with geode cpu.

@ gilligan , yes i have try to build it on a sidux. i have load the kernel 2.6.20 an have try to kompile it in the command line.

Please see my previous post. Read it carefully.

The quickest way to get the ethernet interface up is:

     $ sysconfig -e eth0
     $ service network restart
