hello everyone, I am rather new to linux and am having some trouble with several things.
1) I have compiled the new 2.6.5 kernel on two computers and am getting the same results on both.
a) On the desktop i recompile and install the kernel and after rebooting i my NIC is not shown. I used the make oldconfig option to confgure the kernel.
b) on the laptop i have the same problem with the NIC, but also on the laptop i am having troulbe with Kismet on the old kernel. When i try and start Kismet it wont start unless there is an access it can pull an IP from. I am sure this is because the module is being unloaded, but i have no idea how to keep the module from being unloaded.
