Question problems with new kernel compilation (2.4.31)


Hi
I'm running slackware linux 10.2 (kernel 2.4.31). I wanted to include NFSv3 client in the kernel so I recompiled the kernel using normal commands

make mrproper
make menuconfig (included NFSv3 client)
make dep
make clean
make bzImage
make modules
make modules_install

I replace my old kernel file with the new one and also the System.map file.

This is my first time recompiling a kernel so I am not surprised that I have run into problems.

When I booted up with my new kernel none of my newworking devices would work, wired and wireless cards. I have tried reinstalling my wireless card and it still won't work. I assume my wired networking device drivers shoud be just built into the kernel so I don't see why these aren't working. As yet I haven't tested the NFS client because basically I don't have a network

Any help would be much appreciated!

Do you happen to use PCMCIA networking?
