Well, you could start by posting your configuration. ifconfig -a,
netstat -rn would be the essentials to debug such a problem.
Also send them, from both a working and a non-working kernel.
Then, I see you have two ethernet interfaces. Warning: the order in
which they are initialized and thus the interface number they get might
change between kernel versions. Thus, eth0 might not always be the
PNIC-II....
Also, pay attention to whether you have both ethernet drivers as modules
or compiled-in. If modules, then order of loading is important.
Then, if the PNIC-II is a GigE card, it may not be supported in old
kernel versions...
Cheers
