I thought I'd recompile the kernel for fun today (upgrading to latest stable
release) and also because I don't know if the problems Im sometimes having
with quotas are due to the fact I never did recompile.
Everything seemed to go OK until I tried to access the network. No show
there. Even pinging an IP address gives connect : Network is unreachable.
The odd thing is, I did keep a copy of my old kernel and this still works
OK. I did include the module that supports my NIC when doing 'make
menuconfig'.
Any help would be great. Thanks,
