I built a new kernel from the 2.6.25.6 sources, installed it, the1. Make sure that PCNET32 is set in your .config file

to do anything ethernet. The new kernel comes up ok otherwise. I
know I configured ethernet (of various kinds) in to the kernel (I
started with the default configuration and didn't remove anything
network-related).
If I type "route", all that comes up is the loopback device. If I
type "ifconfig eth0 up", it comes back with "eth0: unknown interface:
No such device".
"lspci" seems to know about my network card:
02:00.0 Ethernet controller: Advanced Micro Devices [AMD] 79c970
[PCnet32 LANCE] (rev 10).
/var/log/messages doesn't say anything about a network interface.
However, dmesg seems not unhappy:
loop: module loaded

2. Try eth1 or eth2
