Problem with Toshiba 400CS laptop + etherlink 589

[Joseph Jones <joe@bumpycarrot.cjb.net>]

I've built a new kernel for my Toshiba 400cs, cutting out a lot of 
unnecessary junk, whilst making sure everything's in place that I need 
for the laptop.

Anyhow, after compiling the kernel on my main box, I've ftp'd it over to 
my laptop and installed it. During startup, the network card's dongle 
still lights up, but I can't ping anything outside the laptop and 
there's no link light on my router.

Any help is most appreciated :)
