Problems Building Kernel 2.4.9

[Andreas Bauer]

First of all, I am not an expert to answer this question, but the obvious
occured to me...

Look at this:

[root at trillian baueran]# modprobe -c | grep net-pf-1
alias net-pf-1 unix
alias net-pf-10 off
alias net-pf-17 af_packet
alias net-pf-19 off

So it's an alias to unix. You might have messed up the networking
configuration (or left something out), I'd say.

HTH,
Andi.
