Hi, I am top posting because it is solved. I want to help you all for your help, I am not sure about the problem but here are some hints, you will realize what it was.
As I said before, I used this info for the new configuration. 00:19.0 Ethernet controller: Intel Corporation 82566DC Gigabit Network Connection (rev 02) Subsystem: Intel Corporation Device 0001 Flags: bus master, fast devsel, latency 0, IRQ 216 Memory at 92200000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=128K] Memory at 92224000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=4K] I/O ports at 20e0 [size=32] Capabilities: <access denied> Kernel driver in use: e1000e Kernel modules: e1000e That info comes from lspci -v run on the Crunchbang Linux live CD. But I have also realized that I always was saving my configurations as. guille1.config, guille2.config, and so on. but this time I also did this. cp guille5.config .config and then compiled the kernel, I am almost sure that matters. thanks again for your help and time. regards, Guillermo Garron On Tue, Feb 17, 2009 at 8:40 PM, Guillermo Garron <guillermo.fed...@gmail.com> wrote: > On Mon, Feb 16, 2009 at 5:40 PM, Dirk Heinrichs > <dirk.heinri...@online.de> wrote: >> Am Montag, 16.
