[NCLUG] ds: no socket drivers loaded!

[Matt Pujol]

When you look in /proc/pci do you see both the network card and the modem?
If not, your system is not recognizing one of the cards when booting up the
PCI bus.  It may be something as simple as PCI interrupt sharing, which you
ought to be able to muck with in the BIOS settings.

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.
