Kernel compiling

[bonzai]

Hi,
i recently compiled a kernel 2.2.18 on my RH7 box and everything went fine until I reboot the system and found out that i have no networking even though i compiled the kernel with networking support in it. I have a laptop and the PCMCIA modules are missing also. When i run 'ifconfig -a' under the new kernel i only have the loopback device.
Why is my network unreachable?

depmod -a
are they modules????

You'll also need a driver for your network card, not just networking support.

Also, you said that the PCMCIA modules were missing. Did you compile them...?

I couldn't find PCMCIA option in the xconfig menus. I can check with the old kernel to find out what modules are needed to run but where do i find the driver if i am missing one? I use a Linksys 10/100 Ethernet + 56K Modem PCMCIA. Should i check with Linksys?
thanks alot.

No, get the PCMCIA source from http://pcmcia-cs.sourceforge.net The site also has good directions on how to make the modules and load them etc. PCMCIA support isn't yet available in the kernel. Although this should be fixed by the magical 2.4

Here's a link to the source tarball (ftp://projects.sourceforge.net/pub/pcmcia-cs/pcmcia-cs-3.1.23.tar.gz)

Thanks jscott, after compiling the PCMCIA it works like a champ. Appreciate it.
