Weston,
I don't know exactly how you upgraded, but I had a few problems with
making my net card work with the becker Tulip driver and my kernel
2.0.34 (Slackware 3.5) setup... until I upgraded the kernel to 2.2.5.
But then somewhere I read that I also had to upgrade my dhcpcd client
to v1.3 or something much larger than the one that I had... Definitely
check out what dhcpcd you have (1.3.?? is needed with 2.2 kernels, I believe).
Also, as regards the sound, you might need to run pnpdump to generate an
isapnp.conf file which configures your PnP devices, and then check to see if
you run
/sbin/isapnp /etc/isapnp.conf
or something like that from your rc.S startup script (rc.Startup) to make your
PnP card get setup... Also check your /etc/conf.modules to see if similar
lines exist:
alias sound sb
options sb io=0x220 irq=7 dma=1 mpu_io=330
.
I'm finding that when I'm trying to setup other new programs I'm having to
upgrade the rest of my 2.0.34 system (duh). Those libs and other programs are
just _old_.
My $.02--listserv correct me if I err.

p.s.:
I'm wondering right now why I can't get any X icq-type program working (none
will compile, although Micq works). I've tried Licq and Icqnix, and I've
upgraded my Qt libs to 1.44, which helped... I suspect it's the above idea
that everything needs to be upgraded. One message that I get is
icqnix: can't load library 'libqt.so.1'
but when I ldconfig and get rid of that message it gives another:
icqnix: can't resolve symbol '__ti13QListViewItem'
Segmentation fault
Help?
