New kernal has compiled and succeffully boots

but network card does not activate when I try to do

#service network restart

modproble: QM_MODULS: Funcation not implemented

8139too device eth0 does not seem to to present , delaying initialization. [Failed]


or when I try do lsmod it give same message

modproble: QM_MODULS: Funcation not implemented

Plz tell why it is being so

You have to add in support for your network card. So go back to /user/src/linux* and then do make menuconfig and go to device drivers, then network, then 10 bit --> then find your nic and select it and recomiple it and reboot

you did not compile network card modules

Did you enable loadable module support when you compiled your kernel? Also, if I remember correctly, you may need an updated version of the modutils or mod-init-tools package (the one the contains modprobe and lsmod, etc) to go from a 2.4 kernel to a 2.6 kernel.
