I am sure because when I wrote this message, I saw it after the log
in. and I confirm by the boot menu.

I download the kernel 2.6.32 from "The Linux Kernel Archive
(http://www.kernel.org/). but I didn't expend the file (*.tar.gz2)
because the programme gzip2 is not included in base system.

I tried (in order) :
With DHCP mode and MAC adresse
WEP router with essid box and key 1234567890 in WEP -->fail
same box in WPA --> fail
Ethernet interface --> fail
without MAC : nochange
without dhcp (like my real and fixe IP adresse like 88.xxx.xxx.xxx) : same.

About your Debain package (linux-image-2.6.31-1-686.deb) and # dpkg -i
linux-image-2.6.31-1-686.deb, No positive result ... and some
difficults ups ... Did I do something wrong ? Well, I really have some
difficult (I really need Christmas fest to get a external box to plug
a DVD player! 20 days remaining! xD )

So, thank again! Good bye
