Recompile kernel lost network
Oh Gods of Debian,
I recently built a Dell Lattitude laptop to hopefully start doing
development on. Installed Woody with 2.2.20-idepci kernel and everything
was working fine. I decide to compile 2.4.18. First time I compiled it, it
wouldn't even recognize the 3Com PCMCIA nic. Got that fixed but I still
have no network connection. The /etc/hosts, and /etc/network/interfaces all
look correct but if I run ifconfig all I have is the local loopback
interface lo, no eth0. An lspci shows the adapter and I get a link light on
the card so I am a bit lost. Any thoughts?
Also, one of the reasons that I compiled 2.4.18 was for sound but I am still
not getting the sound module snd. I compiled in sound support and OSS as
modules, though I would probably prefer to use ALSA but in either case I am
not getting snd.o?
Thanks!!
