hi,
check if eth0 is up or not by
$ ifconfig eth0 up
if u get the message delaying eth0 initialization probably the modules of
ur ethernet card are missing.make sure that u select correct drivers.
use '$make menuconfig' friendly and much quicker.
select the corresponding (pcmcia)modules of ur ethernet card and after
compiling,use
$make modules_install
to install the modules.
afaik this should work,and also one more thing kernels with odd numbers
are not used for workstations they are experimental kernels
