Hi Bob.
As I understand it, some of the semantics will change when you go from
a 2.0.3x kernel to a 2.2.x and the new networking scripts will help
work through that. There was a thread a couple months back about this.
You'll get an SIOC error at boot with a 2.2.x kernel and the Slink
network script. Anyhow, it is documented in the list archives and if
I recall, that was sometime back aroun May. Switching to the new
format is rather painless with a straightforward network configuration.
man interfaces is a good resource.
