Now the network initializes properly during startup. *shrug* Probably all you had to do after enabling the module in the config was: # make && make modules_install && make install You would need to make sure that /boot was mounted during the 'make install' (which probably was the only step you missed) and then it would have worked.

Hi This is certainly because you haven't loaded your network card driver at boot time. Be sure you have entered your driver name ( I am not sure maybe it's 8029too) at file /etc/modules.autoload.d/kernel-2.6. You can use nano text editor to edit the file...
