forcedeth HELP!

Please excuse my ignorance...  and hopefully having done that, point me to 
the forum, mailing list, or whatever so I can figure this out (most likely 
with help....  )  :-)

I'm running a Nvidia Nforce2 MB (Biostar M7NCG 400).  When I boot with 
gentoo and a 2.4 kernel, eth0 works fine.  When I boot with a 2.6.7 
kernel, eth0 does not work.  When booted with the 2.6.7 kernel,  an 
'lsmod' shows forcedeth with a size of 12160, and a 'used by' of '0' (I'm 
so dumb, I'm not even sure if that means its just not used by anybody 
else, OR if the kernel isn't even using it, even though its loaded).

A look at /proc/net/dev is pretty much 0's, except for a 'drop' of 4 
bytes.... 

I've read that I can turn on 'generous' debug output by changing the #if 0 
in forcedeth.c from to a '1'...  But how then do I compile that?  A 'make 
forcedeth.o' produces a ton of errors....  And given that I CAN get that 
to compile,  where does the debug output show up.

Thanks in advance  :-)
