56 Happens to me all the time...

58 ifconfig -a shows only "lo".
59
60 I tried some crazy stunts (like copying the module from the livecd)
61 and now I got the interface listed, but it doesn't work and yells a
62 lot of "SIOCSIFFLAGS: Function not implemented" messages, along with
63 "Unable to allocate interrupt Error: -38" in dmesg.
64
65 I'm in the process of recompiling the kernel right now, and I hope
66 that will solve it (so far I only compiled the kernel while in the
67 LiveCD chroot, but now I have all packages and thus I'm trying to
68 compile it at the real system). That should make no difference, but
69 I'm trying everything...
