But you're running a different kernel ? I guess you did reboot after
installing or upgrading?

I rebooted, of course. But the installation has no connection with
the world, no NIC and no WiFi.

Stan, any chance you've got the i386 sources instead of the x64_86 ?

At this point I would not like to swear to anything. I have been d/l
things for years and have never made such an error, but who knows?

I did start from scratch, have done absolutely nothing to the installation
except get "make" and "kernel-source" from the DVD, and ran into the same
error when trying to install the NIC driver.

Also at this point, the less said the better about Konqueror's new ("it's
the future") personality which tells me only that an object is a Volume,
w hile carefully concealing which one it might be. To be fair, Dolphin
has the same problem.

I'll download a fresh copy of 11.2 overnight, and attack the matter afresh
in the morning, to be sure.
