Summary:                    Network Card Precompiled Kernel 2.6.16
Description: 
While installing lunar-linux 1.60, I chose to install default precompiled
2.6.16 kernel. When it came time to configure my network card, it would
fail. The module for my network card (tulip based) is not selected in the
default precompiled kernel.

It is under Devices>Networking>10/100>tulip based network cards
There is no support for these network cards in the precompiled kernel.
After compiling the module and modprobbing it works fine.

this is not a bug - certain drivers are just not available on the ISO -
this is why you can COMPILE one yourself as well. We just cannot include
every single driver - only most common and needed drivers are there.
