I apt-get the kernel source etc, and :configure through menuconfig and install using dpkg. It installs fine, boots :no problem. I think it is in menuconfig that I have a problem. I am likely :missing the part of the kernel I need to get the networking(it had been working :with 2.2.20, which is what the Woody disk had on it). Alternatively, what :setup might I need to do? It did things magically when I installed Woody, :found my network, got an IP, but perhaps there is something I need to do once :the new kernel is installed.
There are some config options which say you don't need them but which break networking if you don't have them. Obviously, you need CONFIG_NET, but you also need CONFIG_NETFILTER (even though the help says if unsure say N) at least. I think you may need CONFIG_FILTER as well. Do 'less .config' in your kernel source directory to see which CONFIG_* are set, or 'cat .config | grep FILTER' to see if indeed CONFIG_NETFILTER is not set.
