I am having a slightly worrying problem with an upgrade to RH7.2. I have to run an old kernel (2.2.18) because I use the Ihug satellite thingy (the Skymedia sm200dtp card) and the only drivers I could get to work were for this kernel version.
Unfortunately when I recently did an upgrade from 7.1 to 7.2, it broke my network. The network card is a 10/100 sis900 chipset thing that works fine if I boot to the standard 2.4.x standard RH kernel. But when I boot to the 2.2.18 kernel and try to bring up the network (/etc/init.d/network start) I get the message: "Unable to open netlink socket: Address range not supported by protocol" (that is from memory I forgot to get the exact message from home whoops :-) ) After having a good look around I tried recompiling the kernel with netlink support. This made no difference. Does anybody have any ideas? Right now I only have either my internet connection or my home network not both :-( Thanks -- Zane Gilmore, Analyst / Programmer Information Services Section, Information Technology Dept, University of Canterbury Private Bag 4800 Christchurch New Zealand phone +64-3-364 2987 extn 7895 Fax 3642222
