I have the Debian HAMM distribution with the 2.0.34 kernel. My network works fine when I use the kernel that came precompiled with the CD. However, when I try to "roll my own" it stops working. The network card is still correctly detected on bootup, but I get these messages when the network configuation runs:
ifconfig reports: SIOCSIFFLAGS: Resource temporarily unavailable. route reports: SIOCADDRT: Operation not supported by device. Which kernel compilation option am I missing off that I should be including? Can anyone help? For information, the network card is a standard PCI NE2000 (Netvin NV5000, to be exact). Like I say, it's definitely possible to get it working because it works with the default kernel! I want to get this sorted out so I can upgrade to kernel 2.2 with some confidence it'll work.
