I built a kernel approx 50 days ago and all was fine. Any kernel I build now with the latest supped sources and the network card is not being probed during boot. The card works fine if I boot a 4.4 Generic kernel. Has the "de" NIC been depreciated in favour of another driver if so what. I can find nothing in the UPDATING file in /usr/src. A friend informs me that the "de" driver source has not been touched since some time in 2000, but something has changed. I am using the same kernel configuration file that I have used on this box for almost a year now and it normally get an upgrade every couple of months. If any further information is required I'd be pleased to supply. Thanks for your time and consideration of this problem David.
