(Tue, Apr 20, 2004 at 07:40:17PM -0700) I don't know much about kernels. Why does upgrading my kernel to Mantel's 2.6 series break the nic support? Any ideas on how to get it back?
Not to be rude, but if you don;t know much about kernels, you should steer clear of the mantel kernels, and esp. on notebooks simply stick to the stock SuSE kernel (2.4.21 I think was shipped with 9.0) .
Yes, 2.6 breaks the nic support but you can get it back easily by typing: modprobe nic-diver-name eg my nic driver is: eepro100 so I type: modprobe eepro100 I made it permanent on boot by adding the line: alias eth0 eepro100 to the file /etc/modprobe.conf HTH Steve.
