This sounds like you need to re-emerge the driver for your NIC. For example, every time I upgrade my kernel I have to do something like this: # cd /usr/src # rm linux # ln -s newkernel linux # cd linux # make oldconfig # make && make modules_install # emerge ipw2100 (ipw2100 is my wireless NIC) If I don't re-emerge ipw2100, then the NIC *will not* work in the new kernel. If I boot to the old kernel, things work fine. Why? The ebuild makes kernel modules, and they are marked for a specific kernel version. If this is new to you, do some exploring in /lib/modules. This is where all of your modules are stored, and each kernel (and kernel revision) gets a separate directory. If you re-emerge with /usr/src/linux linked to the *old* kernel, it won't help you any. You have to update the link and then re-emerge your driver. HTH! Forgive me if you already know all this. :-P Peace, Gabriel -- G a b r i e l M .
