Hello, Upgraded to Kernel 2.4.7-1 this afternoon, and now I have no network again. I already have the patch to "ifup" applied that takes out the call to check_link_down. Even when this worked, it wasn't too good - the computer would freeze up on shutdown, risking a corrupted file system. SO.... How do I get my network back? Has anyone else seen this? My network card is a linksys PCMCIA card. Does this make any difference? Machine has 2.2 kernel as well, and no network there either :-( V.
