I recently installed Potato (2.2r2) on my laptop, re-pointed my apt-sources to the 'testing' branch, and did an apt-get dist-upgrade. Everything worked 100% perfectly (after some tweaking to get X running, that is :).
ANYway, there were a few features I needed that weren't compiled into the stock kernel (like APM and such), so I decided to download the latest kernel source in Woody's tree (2.4.6) and compile it. Everything seems to work now except my ethernet card. I did compile in all of the PCMCIA stuff as modules, as I don't know which driver I should use. My card is an Intel EtherExpress PRO 10/100 PCMCIA card. I really don't know what to do next. I did look at the Debian install manual, and even tried to download the pcmcia-source package (although it looks like these directions were meant exclusively for the 2.2 series kernels), and the make-kpkg modules_image failed. What am I doing wrong? Do I need to modprobe a module (no modules are running under the 2.4.6 kernel I compiled)? If so, which one? Thanks. --Aaron Traas
