That was the same message I got after upgrading the Kernel to 2.2.3 on
Debian 2.1. It drove me nuts as I couldn't even ping on my local
network. My solution was to put my network card in the kernel rather
then as a module. That solved it for me. I have not yet found why
that fixed it. I am still looking for the answer.

The day-to-day travails of the IBM programmer are so amusing to most of
us who are fortunate enough never to have been one -- like watching
Charlie Chaplin trying to cook a shoe.
