I had already loaded,  compiled, and tested linux-2.6.20.1.  There was
no change with the newer kernel.  Network connections only worked when
tcpdump was running.

Similar for booting with an  older kernel 2.6.17.  I think the problem
is not with the kernel, but with other system software.  It could take
a while to debug, so I am just rebuilding.

Thanks for your help.
