If you recall, I was having trouble getting 2.2.5 or 2.2.6 to get past adding the route to my primary router during an upgrade from 2.2.2. I even tried configuring the install kernel to only enable the devices I had (particularly the NIC). I only had my NIC enabled. It still didn't work. I upgraded to 2.2.5 while in multiuser mode, rebooted, and rebuilt the kernel. The machine wouldn't come back up with the new kernel. From the console, it appeared that it was having (surprise) a problem talking to the network. I rebooted with the GENERIC 2.2.5 kernel and it still didn't work. I rebooted with the old 2.2.2 kernel and it works fine. >From the 2.2.2 kernel: > de0 <Digital 21140A Fast Ethernet> rev 32 int a irq 5 on pci1:11 > de0: Digital DE500-AA 21140A [10-100Mb/s] pass 2.0 > de0: address 00:00:e8:2b:2b:2d The 2.2.5 kernels have the same message when it comes to the NIC, with the addition of a line that looks something like: > de0: <100BaseTX> status: active I'm thinking there might be a problem where 2.2.5 and 2.2.6 are forcing my NIC to go 100BaseT (I believe its currently only on a 10BaseT ethernet).
