[NCLUG] ds: no socket drivers loaded!

[Christopher C.J. Keist]

I hope someone can respond quickly, because in 5 seconds I'm going to be 
tossing my PC out the window!!!!!!
Anyway, I had a perfectly happy PC running RH7.3, until I decided to see 
if I could get the modem to work on it.  I looked at what type of modem 
I had (Rockwell International HCF 56K data/fax modem) and saw that I 
needed to down load drivers for it.  I did and loaded the drivers, then 
rebooted the system.  When the system came back up the network card was 
no longer working, and checking dmesg I saw the ds: no socket drivers 
loaded!.
Well, I then removed the modem drivers "rpm -e" and rebooted again.  
Still no working network card, I tried booting to my backup kernel, 
still no luck.
I have run "redhat-config-network" and redefined my network card, and 
still I get that accursed ds: no socket drivers loaded!.

Does anyone have any ideas on this????

Thanks...
