In the kernel (3.2),

That sounds like a kernel config problem. Read what lspci says about
your ethernet card and when you do make menuconfig compare it to the
help text for each of the ethernet option

Yeah you're right - I just saw his name in either same thread or another

I have been reading how Bruce Dubbs had this same problem and how ken
said to compile the Kernel with:
CONFIG_DEVTMPFS=y and CONFIG_DEVTMPFS_MOUNT=y
This solved Bruce's problem. I found the closest matches for these
settings in the Kernel Configuration screen and they are on by default.
