Suse 10 kernal update problem
 

I have just installed the latest security patches and kernal update and i now cannot connect to the internet.I use a eagle usb modem and have reconfigured the modem .It now loads up ok but and says it is connected but for all requested url's I get not available.
Greatful for any help

Dave

I may be wrong but kernel updates dont normally require you to reinstall your modem. You do
however have to recompile any modules that were added to your original kernel, i.e. Nvidia or ATI drivers.

To help solve your problem ypu need to provide a little more information. Are you using kinternet or kppp to connect and send your password. Usually there is some kind of connect script with a usb modem, either this has failed, or you have incorrect settings for your DNS servers etc.

Check your settings again, also monitor the output of dmesg and check the contents of /etc/resolv.conf for your DNS settings.
Presumably some microcode has to be loaded for an eagle usb modem?
You are getting a connected message (from what ? kppp ?) Open a terminal
and type
ip addr
ifconfig
ping www.google.com
ip route

Hopefully there may be enough error messages that someone can help further
