Brent,
Thanks for your reaction.
Yes I loaded mii.o and crc32.o before pcnet32.o and with lsmod I can see 
they are loaded but because pcnet32 is not, they have as notification 
unused.
I think that the version of pcnet32.o I have apparently is not correctly 
build as it give a segmentation fault when I try to install it with insmod.
Bering uclibc-3.1.beta3 is running under vmware as a linux guest but 
because the drivers for the network cards aren't installed I cannot test 
it further.
I can mount a cd-rom as the modules are installed and I can also install 
an USB-device but I want to use a virtual USB-device as on my physical 
firewall I have a floppy only to load the necessary installation and all 
relevant packages I need are loaded from an USb-stick. The system I use 
us that old (an old AMD K6) that it can not boot from an external device 
other that FD, CD-ROM or disk.
The host system for Vmware Player is an AMD Phenom II(4-core) with 4 GB 
mem., running Ubuntu Karmic so there I have no limits.
I hope somebody (anyone of the Bering-uclibc-team, especially K.P 
Kirchdoerfer) can shed light on the problem with the driver which I 
obtained from the file Bering-uClibc_modules_2.4.34.6.tar.gz.
Thanks in advance,
Joep
