I have compiled a new kernel with ACPI support to get my sound working. I was successful in getting my sound working (thank you Max). but now, as with other kernel compiles with diffrent versions, I can not get my network to come back up.

my working kernel is the 2.4.18-bf2.4-xfs

my dmesg from the new kernel looks exactly like the dmesg from my kernel working kernel (except for the ACPI stuff)

is there somthing I have to do to get it working after I boot a new kernel?

I have a realtek 8139 ethernet chip. and I have tried compiling the driver into the kernel, I have tried making it a module. I have tried other kernels that do not include ACPI, and I have tried 2.4.18 source without ACPI.

what am I doing wrong?

Does the chip show up in lspci?

You're not compiling the 8139cp code for a non 8139C+ chip,
right?

Do the old and new dmesg outputs both contain, or not contain
the eth0 init?

lspci shows that the card is detected.
