the card is directly connected to a LANcity cable modem

the only thing i can think of is that the ethernet adres is changed when i
boot the 2.1.125 kernel

i will look this thing out this week
maybe (i hope) it's this

this because the cablemodem only responds to the ethernet adress that has
been programmed in the eeprom (or something) inside the cablemodem

it's only strange that 2.1.112 works ok

and that 2.1.125 doesn't :(
