<div dir="ltr"><div><div>I imagine that this means that you're running a pretty old Linux flavour which compiled in specific network kernel device drivers, whereas in these modern days, distributions tend to compile them *all*, and keep them in /lib/modules/... where they may be referenced on demand. It's possible that if you build a fresh kernel, and specify the particular network device, it'll all be golden.<br>
</div><div><br>My suspicion is that this is a situation which might be well-served by the use of virtualization.<br><br></div>That is, to build an "image" of a Linux distribution that can run the software, and untie that from any particular hardware.<br>
<br></div>It may take some struggle to build the VM, and to get that to the point of installing the accounting software onto it. Of course, after that point, you are pretty much immunized from hardware changes from then on (to double the metaphor a bit). This approach allows you to keep running the same old mouldy binaries until such time as the system suffers something worse, such as the 2038 problem...<br>
