Toshiba Satellite, 2.6 kernel and wireless networking



are you sure that the network driver for the correct card is in place ?
for example, maybe it was built-in on your 2.4 kernel and now it is a module

also one annoying thing I've noticed about 2.6 is that mii operation now seems to come from a separate module so that even when you have the proper hardware modules, LAN will still not working.

quite the user trap
