I remembered other artikel about gig-E problems, so after re-reading this cured it: **************** From: walt [1] Gigabit Kconfig problems with yesterday's update Distribution: cistron I have one machine with a gigabit NIC which I updated today from Linus' bk tree. The problem is that I was not asked if I wanted the 'new' gigabit support and therefore the tg3 support was dropped from my new .config. I edited .config by hand and deleted any mention of ethernet support -- and only then did 'make oldconfig' ask me the right questions. Also: the phrase (10 or 100Mbit) should be deleted from the 'Ethernet' menu item since it implies (wrongly) that the item is not needed for gigabit support. **************** Danny -- "If Microsoft had been the innovative company that it calls itself, it would have taken the opportunity to take a radical leap beyond the Mac, instead of producing a feeble, me-too implementation." - Douglas Adams -
