I ran "pacman -Syu" and answered yes to replacing "atl2" and "wlan-ng26" with "core/kernel26". After rebooting, eth0 times out and I get no connection to my DSL modem.
I tried "dhcpcd -d 10.0.0.138" (the modem's address) and got this:
10.0.0.138:dhcpcd 4.0.7 starting
10.0.0.138:read_interface: No such device
This is on my AMD Athlon64 box. I just upgraded another box with Arch 32-bit (the one I am writing this from...) and had no problems, but there I was not asked whether any files should be replaced. The two boxen use the same DSL modem.
From what I understand, the atl2 ethernet driver is now included in the kernel.
Must I load a special module?

I am having the same problem in a Dell Inspiron 1525 with a Intel Celeron.

I notice in /var/log/messages.log:
X:2576 conflicting memory types e0000000-f0000000 write-combining<->uncached-minus
reserve_memtype failed 0xe0000000-0xf0000000, track write-combining, req write-combining
This is repeated 3 times and did not happen with kernel 2.6.27 or earlier.
Don't know if this has anything to do with the ethernet driver not being loaded, or whatever.
I would really appreciate if anyone has a suggestion as to how I might start and/or test the ethernet driver.

Just tested the Fallback kernel.
DHCP works. No memory error messages.
I don't know the differences between the Standard and Fallback kernels, but something is wrong with the Standard kernel on my system.
Offline
In my case I cant connect even with the Fallback kernel.
When booting I get this error too:
Fatal: module wl not found
(I use Wicd)

I was able to connect using "dhcpcd eth0".
But somethings still dont work... like an applet that pings many sites or Wicd.

With so many things appearing to be out of whack with this kernel revision, let's hope for an improved one shortly.

1. Check what driver you need on http://www.linuxwireless.org/en/users/Drivers
2. sudo modprobe driver_name
BTW I noticed that hwdetect --modules missed my wireless drivers (iwlwifi) with the new kernel.
Offline
i have the BCM4328 so its not supported in the included modules. i still rely on broadcom-wl, with the new kernel update i am also getting
FATAL: Module wl not found
are there any options besides ndswrapper?
EDIT: The fallback kernel doesnt help me either. Seriously frustrating.

fixed it!
i read up that ssb has been been conflicting with other modules, especially ndiswrapper, so i did a:
sudo rmmod ssb
sudo modprobe wl
and it all worked out...editing my rc.conf modules to
!ssb wl
fixed things. back online!
EDIT: what do i lose by blacklisting ssb?

I tried it. But changed nothing for me...

bummer. i still had to keep it blacklisted even after the broadcom-wl update today.
i have no other ideas, sorry. im running the BCM4328. maybe you have a different card.
type lspci in console to find out.

After upgrading to kernel26-2.6.28.1-1 I still cannot connect to my DSL modem (DHCP) using the Default kernel. The Fallback kernel lets me connect normally. This is on an AMD Athlon 64 box with a Marvell ethernet card (module: sky2).
Regarding kernel modules, I notice some strange error messages. This is the end of /var/log/messages.log for the Default kernel:

Apart from the strange listing of invalid kernel modules in both kernels, the Default kernel also shows memory allocation errors.
I would really like to get my Default kernel working. Can anyone throw some light these messages?
Offline
I updated to the last kernel yesterday. Now I don't get the wl error. But Wicd still doesn't work and I still need to conect manually.

I had this problem too, after an upgrade, no connection. Running pppd it complained about a missing libpcap 9 something. And sure enough, there it was in pacman log ;
[2009-01-17 23:26] upgraded libpcap (0.9.8-2 -> 1.0.0-1)
So i made a symlink and i had pppoe back.
Offline
It is working for me now.
Following this thread helped me:
http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=482706
Looks like Wicd was crashing because the wl module was missing.
