In modconf the only NIC I see is Dummy - dummy net interface card.

But when I look in /etc/network/interfaces my eth0 is still there

What should I do ?

This is what I did: (according to documentation from [url]www.debian.org[/url])

login root
apt-get install gcc kernel-package kernel-source-2.4.18 libc6-dev tk8.3
libncurses5-dev fakeroot
adduser joachim src
logout
login joachim
cd /usr/src
tar -jxf kernel-source-2.4.18.tar.bz2
ln -s kernel-source-2.4.18 linux
cd linux
make menuconfig
fakeroot make-kpkg clean
fakeroot make-kpkg --append-to-version=.new1 kernel_image
logout
login root
dpkg -i kernel-image-2.4.18.new1_10.00.Custom_i386.deb
echo "kernel-image-2.4.18.new1 hold" | dpkg --set-selections
dpkg --get-selections | grep kernel-image

In 'make menuconfig' I only added anything what has to do with iptables, the
reason I had to upgrade from 2.2 to 2.4

Joachim Smit

When you went into menuconfig, did you enable support for the 3com NIC
specifically (either as a module or as a compiled in feature)? If not,
that could be the problem.

In menuconfig, I enabled support for:

Network device support -> Ethernet 10 or 100 Mbit -> EISA, VLB, PCI and on
board controllers.

I have 2 controllers, 1 is on board and the other a PCI controller, not a
3com. I will try it again WITH support for 3com.

Kind regards,

Joachim Smit

Try this:

[url]http://newbiedoc.sourceforge.net/system/kernel-pkg.html[/url]

In the kernel configuration, you need to include support for both your
onboard controller and your PCI card.

There is a separate section for "3Com cards". If your card is not 3Com,
don't check anything in that section.

Once you have installed the kernel deb and booted with it, you'll need to
run "modconf" to select the modules you want to install. Add the module
names to /etc/modules if you want them to load automatically during startup.

What onboard controller (chipset) do you have?
