The reason I included the snippet from the kernel source was to show where the information came from (and how to discover similar information on other problems). I was not anticipating that you would recompile your network for a broken network. Putting the "echo 1" line in /etc/init.d/network (or whatever the equivalent with the new netconfig scripts is) may be the best solution if you are unable to actually fix the network errors. -- My current location - X marks the spot.
