[NCLUG] ds: no socket drivers loaded!

[Christopher C.J. Keist]

No, I didn't touch the kernel at all.  Just installed the driver for the 
modem (rpm package), instructions said nothing about building a new 
kernel.  I don't have any PCMCIA support, correct me if I'm wrong, but 
PCMCIA I thought was only needed for laptops.
The loading of that driver must of messed up something with startup 
scripts or something.  Because the network driver is not being loaded 
even if I boot with my backup kernel, which is suppose to be my safety 
net when I screw up my default kernel.
