I recompiled my Redhat Linux 8, 2.4.18-14, kernel on a system containing a Kingston Etherx KNE100TX PCI Fast Ethernet adapter. After recompiling the kernel I created a separate kernel configuration called 2.4.18-14custom11-28-02 and used Grub to boot, either to the original installed kernel configuration or to the new 2.4.18-14custom11-28-02 kernel configuration. If I boot to the original kernel configuration the nic card activates. But if I boot to the 2.4.18-14custom11-28-02 kernel configuration the nic card won't activate. I used the 'ifconfig -a' command which shows the nic card as eth0 & up. I used the 'lspci' command which shows the nic card using the proper resources. Please help,....ever since they allowed me to use Linux in this asylum,....I've been bouncing around in the same spot in my rubber room. This extremely agitates the hired help,...which have to watch,...they prefer randomness. Oh,...I long for the days when that beautiful woman would say that tender word,.....'CLEAR',...before she sent 460 volts through me. After she blacked out the upper east side,....those powers that be made her switch to drugs. As I look into her eyes, through the door, I notice,... she's really pissed off,.....
