[anandmeher]

hi everyone,
i have open suse 10.2 with kernel 2.6.18.8-0.7-default installed on my machine, i compiled a new verison of kernel 2.6.25. when i log into 2.6.25 the internet connection does not work. ifconfig recognized my network card as well.

linux-h2dx:/home/anand # ifconfig
eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:13:72:A0:A8:83

Try deleting the card(s) setup, and adding them again, as new network cards.

Since this happened after a kernel upgrade, I am inclined to believe that the drivers have changed. Have you compared the difference to the output of this command, on the two kernels?

lsmod

Also, look through the output of this command, for errors regarding your wired and wireless cards;

dmesg
