I remembered other artikel about gig-E problems, so after re-reading this cured it: **************** From: walt <wa1ter@myrealbox.com> [1] Gigabit Kconfig problems with yesterday's update Distribution: cistron
I have one machine with a gigabit NIC which I updated today from Linus' bk tree.
The problem is that I was not asked if I wanted the 'new' gigabit support and therefore the tg3 support was dropped from my new .config.
I edited .config by hand and deleted any mention of ethernet support -- and only then did 'make oldconfig' ask me the right questions.
Also: the phrase (10 or 100Mbit) should be deleted from the 'Ethernet' menu item since it implies (wrongly) that the item is not needed for gigabit support.
