Networking under 2.1.111

This isn't a kernel question exactly, but it is kernel related. I recently
upgraded to the 2.1.111 kernel from 2.0.35. I also, of course, upgraded
several packages (all those listed in the Changes file).

While I had no troubles with networking under the 2.0.x kernels, I can't seem
to can *any* network device functioning under 2.1.x!! I think the culprit
may be net-tools (1.4.5), since I can't do ifconfig, route, etc. Any of
those commands complain about "no usable address families found". Somewhere
it also complains about the 'inet' family.

I've checked and re-checked my kernel config and has AF_UNIX and AF_INET
defined... What am I missing?

Any help is greatly appreciated -- I've been in the dirt since Monday...

Thanks,

Tyson
