Kernel 2.2 to 2.4 on a laptop



Hi,

I have a problem with my laptop which I would appreciate some guidance with. It is a Dell Inspiron 3700 (hardly cutting edge now!)

I installed Woody on it with the default 2.2 kernel and the various packages I want and it runs fine. I then use dselect to install the kernel-image-2.4.18-5, and all the dependencies. When I reboot the machine the pcmcia network card is not used and no network link is made.

The laptop is perfect under 2.2.  This is the same process I use to install Woody and upgrade to 2.4 on my desktop and that runs 2.4 perfectly. The laptop will run 2.4, but only in isolation from the outside world.

Has anyone else had this problem? can anyone offer suggestions as to why, and where to look for a solution?

Keith
