Running kernel 2.4.25 in woody stable
I'm running debian woody with kernel 2.4.25 that I downloaded from
kernel.org and built with make-dpkg and I just noticed that I have
compatibility problems with ifconfig in woody, specifically I can not
add virtual interfaces. After googling around I get the impression that
ifconfig needs to match the running kernel version to some extent. Can
someone tell me what parts of woody I would need to update to use kernel
2.4.25? I would rather work with this kernel and not have to downgrade,
reconfigure, recompile and reboot because the system is a dedicated
remote server that I did a remote install of debian, and I'm very happy
it rebooted in debian and now I don't want to take any chances with
another kernel and have it not boot. I did do a search for backports for
ifconfig but I came up with nothing. Any suggestions would be greatly
appreciated.
