Can't connect to internet with new kernel
Hello!
I am a new user to Debian (and Linux) and just compiled the 2.4.18 kernel
since the 2.2.20-compact kernel that I was using did not support sound or
my USB mouse.
The new kernel works fine and my soundcard and USB mouse work OK! However,
my 3COM 3c509B card doesn't work and I can't connect to the internet. I've
tried both compiling with the 3c509 support in kernel and as a module -
both while seemingly loading the support correctly (no error messages
during bootup) end up not connecting to the internet.
The one difference I did notice was that ifconfig does not produce the
second line below with my new setup:
$ ifconfig
eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:60:08:20:19:C8
inet addr:192.168.1.101 Bcast:192.168.1.255 Mask:255.255.255.0
......
The other lines seem to be the same. Anyone knows what could be the
problem? Thanks! I attach the entire output of ifconfig below for reference.
