Just installed a debian system. Used a CD to boot and downloaded the files from the net afterwards. Installation went well, NIC where working fine. Since I want to use iptables, I need a 2.4.x kernel. Compiled a new one, with support for 8139 realteks, the NICs I have. Everything seems to work fine, except the NICs. Ifup with eth1 fails and during boot up it reports: modprobe: modprobe: can't locate module eth1. Operation failed. Ifup with eth0 yileds some errors: SIOCSIFADDR: No such device. eht0: unknown interface: no such device. SIOCSIFNETMASK: no such device. eth0: unknown interface: No such device.
What couls cause such problems?
