Re: 2.2.x kernel and PCI eth0 problem
-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Rupert,
I assume that you are running Slink. Have to installed the upgrade
versions of the packages that are required for your to be running the
2.2.x kernels? I belive the net-tools package is one of the packages that
need to be ugraded, so I am not at all surprised to hear that networking
is failing for you.
There is a URL available somewhere on the Debian website which
tells you about the packages that need to be upgraded. Unfortunately, I do
not have a URL handy - so you'll have to search.
Regards,
Jor-el
Everywhere I go I'm asked if I think the university stifles writers. My
opinion is that they don't stifle enough of them. There's many a bestseller
that could have been prevented by a good teacher.
