Ray:

Check your routing tables:

route -n

See if you have a default route (starts with 0.0.0.0 in the leftmost
column.

From your description it sounds like your eth0 is now up (not sure about
why it's in promisc mode...you have snort or such running?).  Can you
ping the local subnet, just not outside on the internet?  That would be
default route.

I'm not familiar with how things are done in Slackware, but compiling
and installing a kernel and modules wouldn't be related to your rc
scripts I'm sure.  Must have been some other package(s) that were
upgraded?
