[BashLogic]

greetings,

have you checked the NIC driver changes and compatibility with the newer kernel?
btw,
http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v2.4/
there you can find changelogs in between versions that might elaborate
implimented changes that are affecting your case,
btw, may i ask what kind of system are you tweaking/hacking?

regards
BL
