Help to SysKonnect FDDI adapter install to RHEL 4

[graymouser]

I'm running RHEL 4 update 2 on a wx4300 HP workstation (EM64T processor). I've installed RHEL 4 x86_64 WS. I have now put in a SysKonnect FDDI card and tryed to configure it, but am having problems. Here are the steps I did:

made the skfp.ko module by
1. rpm -Uvh kernel-2.6.9-22.EL.src.rpm
2. cd /usr/src/redhat/SPECS
3. rpmbuild -bp --target=x86_64 kernel-2.6.spec
4. cd /usr/src/redhat/BUILD/kernel-2.6.9/linux-2.6.9/
5. cp configs/kernel-2.6.9-x86_64-smp.config .config
6. make menuconfig (selected Device Drivers/networking support/FDDI driver support and made sure SysKonnect FDDI PCI support was set as M)
6. make modules
7. cp drivers/net/skfp/skfp.ko to /lib/modules/2.6.9-22.0.1.ELsmp/kernel/drivers/net/
8. depmod -a

After a reboot I was prompted by kudzu to configure the device fddi0. I configured with our network settings and continued. It then gave an error like "skfp device fddi0 does not seem to be installed" and will not connect the FDDI device. Can you please help.

Here's the lspci output for the card:

Any help would be apprecriated.

Thanks!

wouldnt you have to remake the initrd and include the module skfp?

[graymouser]

I thought that if kudzu prompted me for the configuration at boot that I wouldn't need to recreate the initrd. Maybe I'm wrong.
