inet.d/networking complains

I'm running a Debian system with a 2.4.23 kernel. However, my networking
does not work except on the precompiled 2.2.20 kernel provided with woody
(stable). When I run

/etc/inet.d/networking restart

it complains with the following error message:

socket: Protocol not available - make sure CONFIG_PACKET and
CONFIG_FILTER are defined in your kernel configuration!

I get this message yet I have both CONFIG_PACKET and CONFIG_FILTER enabled
in the kernel .config file. I modprobed the tulip driver (I have an
LNE100TX), but while trying to start up networking services I still get this
complaint. What gives? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Debian`s dhclient needs to have those options enabled in .config.
You can try using pump, dhcp3-client(?), or setting network manually.
If you can set your network manually - then check your .config again.
If those options can be compiled as modules and you compiled them as
modules, install them with modprobe.
