The reason I included the snippet from the kernel source was to show where
the information came from (and how to discover similar information on other
problems). I was not anticipating that you would recompile your network for
a broken network.
Putting the "echo 1" line in /etc/init.d/network (or whatever the equivalent
with the new netconfig scripts is) may be the best solution if you are unable
to actually fix the network errors.
