3c920 in 2.4.20; "network unreachable"
I installed woody over the internet, configured by the
local DHCP-server. I then downloaded (from debian)
kernel 2.4.20 from http://www.kernel.org and compiled
it to get X working (as part of a i810/i815 howto).
The 3c59x-driver was compiled directly into the
kernel along with the other needed support.
The problem is that the network does no longer work.
After searching on google i found a post on a mailing
list which described a similar problem after switching
to the 2.4.*-kernel with the very same driver.
I can now no longer find that post.
I've tried several possible solutions, found at these
lists or google, however none of them have worked.
During the boot I get no clues, only a few error
messages that relate to another problem.
A few lines from my console:
# ping -c 1 192.168.0.1 ((my gateway))
> PING 192.168.0.1 (192.168.0.1): 56 data bytes

(pause)
(still no working network)

In advance: thanks for any effort,
