I've configured and installed the 2.4.1 kernel. I can't, however, seem to get pump to correctly configure my 3Com 3c509 network card. eth0 seems to be present in ifconfig, but...
However, if I boot in 2.2.17, DHCP seems to configure eth0 correctly. Anyone experience this going from 2.2.17 to 2.4.1?
TIA -mk

Are you using the net-tools from debian? Apparently there was a broken one giving errors.
Is the card using the same resources as in 2.2.17?
No, I'm not using net-tools. I'm using the same resources in both 2.2.17 as in 2.4.1. Just prior to rebuilding the kernel, I did an apt-get update and apt-get upgrade from the woody (unstable) tree, as I do every Saturday. So, I should have all the latest greatest upgrades. Any ideas? -mk

I think I've discovered the reason.
When I first installed the 3C509b NIC for my cable modem, I disabled com2 in my bios and configured the NIC to use that addressing and interrtupt 0210/03. For win98, there were no problems with this. With Debian Linux 2.0.32, I ran a some commands to change Linux to see the NIC at this same add/int. This worked to 2.2.17. When I went to 2.4.0 and no 2.4.1, it's now seeing the NIC at 0220/12.
The question I have is, what are the commands, in Linux, to manually re-assign the addr/int back to 0210/03? I did the re-assingments long enough ago that I've forgotten the specific Linux commands to do this. Hey, I can't be smart and god's gift to womankind to. LOL. Seriously though, any help would be greatly appreciated. TIA -mk
