kernel/net problems
I downgraded to my 2.0.29 kernel yesterday because of all the scsi disk
errors I was getting in /var/log/messages. That seems to be fixed by
doing so. However now, I'm having network problems... my network
connections will drop spuratically, and then 5 minutes later, my machine
will let me on. My driver seemed to be loaded correctly as usualy,
however it seems to try to load it twice since I recompiled my kernel:

Jun 27 18:46:08 brainiac kernel: eth0: enabling 10TP port.
I think one thing that might affect this is that I compiled it as a module
this time, which normally don't do. Also, it enables 10TP port when I'm
on 100 mb ethernet. I was hoping someone might have a suggestion before I
recompile my kernel again, or is the best thing to compile the driver into
the kernel? I would really appreciate a response, because I hate to say
it, but my machine is acting worse than a NT machine... Before all these
problems of having to reboot 2-3 times a day, my debian machine would stay
up until I rebooted to install the latest stable kernel. :)
Frustrated,
Dennis
