Thanks a lot Alan and Michael! :)
I will get back to you after trying out both the things.
I was looking for a driver for network card RTL8168. Its not supported by the udpcast kernel.
Regards, Samar

What is the driver you are looking for? I saw the reply from Alan, but a possible option that might work. I have a project called g4l, which does images using local and ftp options mainly, but does also include udpcast. If it recognizes your nic, you might be able to use it. I had udp-reciever setup as an option on the menu, but the udp-sender has to be run manually, so might be more than you want to do.
So, you can download the latest g4l version 0.29 from sourceforge, and see if it does recognize the card. Then the issue would be are you doing a full disk image or a partition image. You will also, have to figure how the disk is recognized by g4l. It uses the standard kernels, and the disk may show up at /dev/hda instead of /dev/sda. My systems with regular ide drives are /dev/hda, but with Fedora the come up as /dev/sda, so it doesn't matter, but you need the right device to get it to work.
Also, how many machines are you doing? If it is a limited number, a regular image could be done, and then restore via g4l regularly. Also, which OS are your machines. G4L has ntfsclone, which is faster than an image copy of ntfs partitions, but would need to know the setup.
Hope this helps...

Hi,
The pre-build kernel for udpcast doesn't include driver for my network
card hence all my pcs only
boot up and can't accept ip address.
How do I including the driver's .ko file in such a way that it is
available for the kernel to use ?
I tried the files executables to be added to image option in
cast-o-matic, but that doesn't work.
Please help!
Thanks.
