Help With New Server

[Ubuntu Maryland Loco Team]

Relevant ouptup:
Ethernet controller: Broadcom Corp: Unknown device 167a (rev 02)
Ethernet controller Windbond Electronics Corp W89C840
I am using the Windbond ethernet controller.

Secondly, I used the Ubuntu 7.04 live CD to boot up the server to
discover which network driver was being used. It used the mii driver for
the Winbond_840 network card. I rebooted back into the server and loaded
the mii module, restarted the network and still it does not recognize
the network card.

However, I discovered that it was booting into a newer kernel from the
grub menu that was copied from the original server. I rebooted into the
kernel that was installed on the clone machine and everything is now
working.

Thanks
