HELP Network problem
I have just done an apt-get upgrade on my unstable system and it updated
the 2.6.16-1 kernel package.
I rebooted and the system came back up but didnt find a network connection.
As expected as I had to rebuild the driver for my card.
However rebuilding the driver and inserting it didnt work. Even after
copying it to the right place in /lib/modules/.... and running a depmod.
So I ran an ifconfig and got a blank screen no info at all.
So I tried ifup lo which gives me
SIOCSIFADDR: No such device
lo: Error While getting interface flags : No such device
lo: Error While getting interface flags : No such device
Failed to bring up lo
but if i modify my /etc/network/interfaces to say eth0 is inet loopback.
eth0 comes up fine.
However i can not bring up my network card as it complains that the device
doesnt exist despite the module inserting correctly.
Help.
