Hi I was trying to upgrade to kernel 2.4.18 or 19 from 17. The problem is that for both the newer kernels my network card doesn't work. I used the same config file (that I loaded into xconfig) when I built the kernels.
Have anybody here with Insiron 2500 or that uses the eepro100 driver experienced this?
