Update: I copied this over to Linux Kernel which I didn't see befreo original post. Sorry, tried to delete from here but nogo.

----------------------------

I'm not sure that this is in the right place. Hope so.

I have been struggling long time with new RH 2.6.27.10 kernel. After much angst with nvidia, got it to compile. Then I noticed that i was missing eth2(onboard NIC). I have researched and done lspci -v thinking that it would show me what I did wrong. I tried comparing the old .config with the new .config. I am lost. I used xconfig and the only thing I changed was Security Options to allow updated policy file. What happened to my ethernet?
