Well, you could start by posting your configuration. ifconfig -a, netstat -rn would be the essentials to debug such a problem. Also send them, from both a working and a non-working kernel. Then, I see you have two ethernet interfaces. Warning: the order in which they are initialized and thus the interface number they get might change between kernel versions. Thus, eth0 might not always be the PNIC-II.... Also, pay attention to whether you have both ethernet drivers as modules or compiled-in. If modules, then order of loading is important. Then, if the PNIC-II is a GigE card, it may not be supported in old kernel versions...
