can only ping after kernel upgrade

[Bernie Berg <bernie@dakotanetwork.com>]

Howdy,
	I loaded up woody with the bootbf2.4-xfs_with_basedebs.iso netist image 
yesterday.  I then proceeded to upgrade my kernel to 2.4.27.  I used 
apt-get to get the sources, copied the orig config from /boot, ran make 
oldconfig (used the defaults) and then ran make-kpkg to compile.  I then 
installed it with dpkg -i and rebooted.  Everything seems to come up 
right, except I cannot access any network recourses.  I CAN ping, but 
that is it.  I can ping internal and external addresses.  I can also 
ping with dns resolution (I pinged www.yahoo.com).  I also pinged with 
larger packet sizes (1200) and it still pings fine... but I cannot use 
lynx, ftp, or apt-get.  I tried loading the nic driver (3c59x) as a 
module or compiling into he kernel, it doesn't work either way.  I tried 
assigning the address static and dhpc, doesn't work either way.  I works 
fine with the vanilla kernel.

Any ideas why that is happening?
Thanks!
