If you used the old configuration file, make sure you: - copied the file to /path/to/kernel-source/.config - ran "make oldconfig" To see exactly what's going on, you first have to find out which drivers your ethernet cards use. dmesg | less using the old kernel can tell you. Next, find out if your new kernel has these drivers, by using make xconfig or make menuconfig. best regards Andreas Janssen -- Andreas Janssen [EMAIL PROTECTED] PGP-Key-ID: 0xDC801674 Registered Linux User #267976 -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
