Re: network connectivity problems

[noah <noah@tookish.net>]

I'm running Woody on a Dell Inspiron 8000 - I have a cable Internet 
connection through a D-Link DFE-650 PCMCIA card. The connection worked fine 
until I installed kernel 2.4.7 - now it doesn't work at all. It took some 
messing around to get it to work initially, so I've become somewhat 
familiar with dhcp and pcmcia - everything appears to be configured 
properly (the way it was when it worked with the older kernel), but I get 
no Internet.

I think that both pcmcia and the DFE-650 are working properly, since I get 
2 muted beeps on startup (they were a lot louder with the older kernel, but 
they're still there now), and the "Ln/Act" light comes on on the dongle. 
Also, eth0 shows up fine when I do "ifconfig."

I'm confused because everything appears to be set-up and working properly. 
Is it possible that I omitted something in the kernel configuration? Is 
there something else that I should be looking at?

Thanks in advance,
Noah
