Re: Network after kernel recompile?
Hi
I got the same problem several times, both on my laptop and desktop. I was
sure i compiled the 3c90x into the kernel, but on reboot I experienced the
same sa you.
I dont know what's the problem, but I just used modconf and loaded the
driver, then I could just do ifdown eth0, ifup eth0, and after that
everything works fine.
Mabye not the best solution, but it works:)

The configuration is correct as i've went over it many times. I'm used the debain version of the kernel source 2.4.18 with a linksys card using the tulip driver? anyone with advice on what I might be missing? This is just one computer connected to a cable modem.

I'm guess it's not a kernel probelm but a debian config i'm not aware of? any help or pointers to man pages or sites that could help me would be great.
