I had similar some time ago. The problem in my case was that I didn't have socket filtering compiled into my kernel. Without it the standard dhcp client shipped with debian/woody doesn't work. You may try to find out if it's the same with you by setting your interfaces manually (if you don't know how: man ifconfig is a good thing to begin with). Just assign the same IP addresses, gateways and masks to your interfaces your dhcp client would fetch if it worked properly. If the network is then up I suppose you'll have to compile the following options into your kernel: Networking option->socket-filtering, also I recommend the option pocket socket as well. Install your the kernel again and try to reboot. > > BTW if I boot into the old 2.2.20 kernel that was installed during setup > the network works fine., > > > -- > To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-testing-request@lists.debian.org > with a subject of "unsubscribe".
