Greetings:

I have tried submitting a bug # #254962 through the debian bug reporting system but I don't think it made it to anybody. I was told by an old maintainer of the 2.6 kernel (Herbert Xu) to submitt the info here.  The following is output from some system logs.  Basically the eth0 connection won't work on any of the 2.6 kernel builds.  It does work with the 2.4 kerneles:
