    debian bug

    I use in my home debian netinstall, he come with kernel 2.6.18 but i want to upgrade on 2.6.25.6, i download source package from kernel.org site and copy config file of old kernel who stay in /boot/config-2.6.18 to /usr/usr/linux-2.6.25.6. Start make menuconfig and load old kernel from menu. After i save new config to .config name. make and doing next steps, the kernel boot sucessfully but i not have inet access, and no have ping to my ISP gateway.

    I don't know why. I see the network interfaces and they looking okey. On my local lan i recive ip from my dhcp address and have ping to my linux ruter, but if i try to ping outside, i not have...

    On the old kernel everythings is okey.

    i would verify that the module was compiled and selected for use by your kernel config, you should go into the menuconfig and look under the drivers section for ethernet and make sure the one that your ethernet device uses was actually built, it would be helpful to know what you are using as well
    Code:
    lspci | grep Eth
    lsmod
    this way we can see if the module for your card is loaded

    judging by your kernel you are using stable,have you considered upgrading to lenny or even sid this will give you a much more up to date kernel in a much easier manner
