Hi Pim (and Roberto as well :)
Thanx for your advide. No, I did not add a default route, but just for
pinging a machine in the same subnet (192.168.1.100 and 192.168.1.101)
there should be no need for a default route, right?
Under "normal" conditions (e.g. booting with the Debian CD) the NIC
receives IP and gateway (for internet access) info from the DHCP
server - it just does not work with my own compiled kernel and
modules. (But modules are loaded as i stated before.)
thanx and ciao,
