How do I know which version is loaded ?

interesting... modules.conf is the following:
-----------------------------------------------------------
alias usb-controller usb-uhci
alias eth0 3c509
options 3c509 irq=5
alias eth1 3c509
-----------------------------------------------------------

Is it correct to have eth0 and eth1 aliased to the same card ? (3c509)

I belive the kernel for nomal boot is 2.4.20-8
I'm not sure what the kernal for the network install is...

I have noticed a difference (which probably explains the problem I am having
(see prev. post in a thread up)) is that the IRQ assigned by the network
install is IRQ=10.
Verison of the dirver for network install is 1.18c 1 Mar 2002.
