Neal,
I think the only thing you missed there is the kind of NIC you
have. If you don't know this look in the output of 'lspci' for a
hint. For example, on my machine I see this line in the lspci output:
"00:12.0 Ethernet controller: VIA Technologies, Inc. Ethernet
Controller (rev 70)"
which gives me a good clue that this is supported by the via-rhine
driver. If you can't guess what the driver is, try booting into your
2.2.x kernel and look in the output of dmesg for a line starting with
"eth0'. In my case I might have seen something like this:
"eth0: VIA VT6102 Rhine-II at 0xe400, 00:50:2c:03:26:a8, IRQ 11."
which really does not offer a clue as to the driver name, but who
knows, you might get luckier. If you don't have a PCI NIC this won't
work (and it's been far too long since I messed with ISA cards to
remember how to help you!).
Now do the following as root:
modprobe via-rhine #use the appropriate NIC driver module name
ifconfig eth0 #to see if it works now
ifdown eth0 #might fail, no worries
ifup eth0
If you have /etc/network/interfaces set up correctly from earlier this
should fix your problem. Then add a line to /etc/modules containing
the name of your driver so the next time you boot things are okay.
Cheers!
Shyamal
