Today, I decided to upgrade my kernel from 2.2 to 2.4.25 (Debian
system). I didn't compile it, just installed using apt-get.
Reason for upgrade: I wanted USB support.
Booting is fine, but my network connection is gone. During boot, I see
eth0 related error messages (beginning of a line, something like
'eth0: ERROR ....'.
The network card is a simple Sitecom card, with a sitecom chip on it:

Unfortunately, I can't find the errors in any of the logfiles in
/var/log. It's also not listed in the report from dmesg.
modprobe -c:
nothing network related is listed;
lsmod:
nothing network related is listed;
ifconfig:
Only the loopback interface 'lo' is listed;
lspci -v:
00:0e.0 Ethernet controller: Linksys Network Everywhere Fast Ethernet
10/100 model NC100 (rev 11).
... and some more information.
