Bug#293150: kernel-image-2.6.8-2-686: 3c509 module fails with 2.6.x kernels

[Jerome Lacoste <jerome@coffeebreaks.org>]

Package: kernel-image-2.6.8-2-686
Severity: important


I am not able to upgrade to 2.6.x kernels on my sarge server. 
The machine boots OK to the prompt, but networking doesn't work.

ping my router results in:
....
>From 192.168.0.5 icmp_sq=310 Destination Host Unreachable
....

tethereal log:
0.0123456  192.168.0.5 -> Broadcast    ARP Who has 192.168.0.1? Tell 192.168.0.5


- ping from another box on LAN to server doesn't work

- ifconfig eth0 shows UP and RUNNING.


I had another card on the box, working with dmfe driver. This one worked so I've stopped fiddling with the 3c509

Anything I can do to help diagnose the problem?

J
