Well, I am here to hack my kernel to get my NIC detected in RHL 7.2 (2.4.7). 

The problem is I can't find the - #/usr/src/menuconfig & there's nothing 
called /usr/src/linux-2.4.X...the other commands are also not being taken...

Can anyone suggest me what should I do to hack my kernel for this particular 
matter?

Thnx.

    If your Linux kernel is any new version above than 2.4.5
 (included) and it is a new installation, you can configure the
 kernel by following console commands to enable the driver for
 SURECOM EP-320X-S/S-1 100/10M Ethernet PCI Adapter.

           #/usr/src/menuconfig

       Enable the option of "Myson MTD-8XX PCI Ethernet support"
 in "Ethernet (10 or 100 M bit)" of "Network device support" as a
 loadable module or system default module.

           #make dep

           #make clean

           #make bzImage

           #cp /usr/src/linux-2.4.X/arch/i386/boot/bzImage /boot

       Then, edit /etc/lilo.conf, run "/sbin/lilo", and then reboot
 your Linux system. After new kernel has been rebooted, it will
 automatically load the driver for this adapter.
