Thank you. I was hoping that the 2.4.9 kernel package would not require that I recompile it to do what the 2.2.18 kernel did "out of the box". Or should I say, "out of the .deb"? Thus I never was in the menuconfig. Only modconf. > have you installed the pcmcia-cs package as well?

The dependencies in dselect recomended "modules", but all the recomended modules were 2.2.x kernel, not 2.4, so I will have to assume that the 2.4.9 package has them. [music from Jepardy] Ok, dselect process done, it asked me to interactively configure the network interface. It doesn't work, ifup still says "ignoring unknown interface", but at least I can go off and read some docs that weren't there before. I'll just say that this was straight forward and working in 2.2.18, I'm surprised that it has gotten more obscure, more difficult in 2.4.x and the linuxconf and netconfig tools make it worse.
