Package: linux-image-2.6.15-1-686 Version: 2.6.15-8 Severity: important
With this kernel I am not able to use the network. I had to go back to a 2.4 kernel to have the net working. As a comparison I attached some fragments obtained with kernel 2.4 and with kernel 2.6: The fragment of syslog in the case of a 2.4 kernel is: Jun 4 01:28:33 localhost kernel: isapnp: Scanning for PnP cards...

With a 2.6 kernel, I get the following syslog fragment: Jun 4 02:18:28 localhost kernel: pnp: Device 01:01.00 activated.
