SUMMARY: networking not working under 5.1a

heelo,
the cause for my failed network under 5,1a was based
on the pci slot number and the difference between the old and new kernel
configuration.

Under 4.0f, I had a NIC in slot 6 of the es-40 ( last slot)
the kernel was built with this, thus tu0 was in slot6.

A another card was added sometime ago, but no configured under
the old kernel. This NIC was in slot 5

After load 5.1a on as a second boot disk, tu0 became the card in
slot5. I figured this out after I noticed the link light on the second
card.

so as I boot from each OS, I have to move the cable too :-o

thanks to all with the various suggestion, but in the end it came down to
"check the wire, buddy"

thanks again,
Jeff
