No network after first pacman -Syu, don't know why

Hi All,
I've been lurking on the boards since I installed Arch on a old Pentium II machine last summer. I was pretty impressed how well it ran on crappy old hardware, so I am trying to put it on a much nicer Athlon 1200 box I recently aquired. But I am having problems with the internet connection after the install.
The new system doesn't have a ethernet card, so I am using a Linksys usb-to-ethernet adapter. According to this website:
http://www.linuxcompatible.org/cdetail10700.html
this adapter should work with Linux and uses a module called CDCEther.
After installing off the base CD I burned back in about June and fiddling with rc.conf to get it set up for dhcp, I was able to get on the internet. So I proceeded to do a pacman -Syu and rebooted once it was finished. After that boot I can no longer get to the internet at all. I can't even ping my linksys router which is the gateway. If I do ifconfig eth0 it says device not found, and if I do netstat -r it returns nothing at all.
I didn't add kernel26 to my IgnorePkg line in pacman.conf. Is it possible that the kernel got upgraded and now it can't load the module for my adapter? When I do a uname -a it says the kernel rev is 2.6.10, while before the pacman -Syu I think it was 2.6.3. I notice if I do modprobe CDCEther it says there is no such thing. I didn't try that before it broke though, I didn't have any reason to check it out since everything was working. But I assume it would have found the module then since I could get on the network just fine. . .
What is my best option here? Does anybody know how I can fix this situation, or should I just reinstall? And if I do reinstall should I use the ftp install instead of going off the CD like I did this time?
Thanks,
Ralph

I have nailed down the problem more and found a workaround for now. I'll add the info here in case somebody else finds this post when working on a similar problem.
I tried changing CDCEther to usbnet in both modprobe.conf and rc.conf as that link I posted above suggested. That didn't help. After rebooting I still had no network connection even though lsmod showed the usbnet module was running.
So I left those files with usbnet in them and downgraded the kernel to the 2.6.3 version on my base install CD from last summer. After doing that and booting the USB to ethernet adapter is fine and I can get to the internet. So clearly it was the pacman -Syu upgrading the kernel that broke it, I just don't know why.
For now I have put kernel26 in my IgnorePkg line of pacman.conf so this won't happen again. I would guess if I figure out why it broke I could upgrade the kernel by recompiling or using ABS as people suggested above. But I'll wait till I have a little more experience and know more about why the newer kernel didn't work before I try that.
Thanks again to iBertus and sarah31 for the help.

Video quality poor after placing into timeline, don't know why?

I've done some screen capture with Camtasia on a Windows machine. When I import it into FCP X the quality is fine when viewing prior to placing into the timeline. After I put it in the timeline I find that while editing that the video playback is now blurry, as is the exported media. I'm not sure what's causing this, can someone help?
Thanks in advance.
B

I set the Playback to High Quality and that didn't help. Thanks for the tip! I'll continue to dig into this problem. What's odd is that my first few projects with learning how to use FCP I used GoPro output and I never saw this issue, but that is HD output.
Thanks,

Hi. After I updated ios6, I couldn't use my cellular network. It said "could not activate cellular data network - You are not subscribed to a cellular data service". I don't know why. My iphone is 4s

Contact your carrier to ensure data access via their network is provisioned properly for your account and iPhone with the new iOS 6 update installed.

TS3992 My iPad hasn't backed up to iCloud for 2 weeks so I've connected it to my laptop and it still won't backup and this is AFTER I paid for extra iCloud storage. I'm so frustrated because it keeps saying back-up failed but I don't know why.

My iPad hasn't backed up to iCloud for 2 weeks after repeated attempts even AFTER I paid extra for more iCloud storage. I've connected it to my laptop and it still won't backup. I'm so frustrated because it keeps saying back-up failed but I don't know why. Please help, thanks!

To back up to your computer, right-click on the name of your iPad on the left side of iTunes and click Back Up. (If running iTunes 11, first go to View>Show Sidebar.)
To get your iPad to back up to iCloud again, try deleting your last backup (if you have one) by turning off iCloud Backup in Settings>iCloud>Storage & Backup, then tap Manage Storage, swipe across your backup and tap Delete, then go back and turn iCloud Backup back on again. If it still won't back up, you may have an app that is preventing the backup from succeeding. To locate which one, go to Settings>iCloud>Storage & Backup>Manage Storage, tap the name of your device under Backups, under Backup Options tap Show All Apps, then turn them all to Off (including camera roll) and try backing up again. If it succeeds, then the camera roll and/or one of your apps is preventing the backup and you'll have to located by process of elimination. Turn the camera roll On and try backing up again. If it succeeds, turn some of your apps to On and try backing up again. If it succeeds again, turn some more apps to On then try again; repeat this process until it fails. Eventually you'll be able to locate the problem app and exclude it from your backup.
If it still won't back up you may have network issues connecting to the iCloud server. Solutions to that include power-cycling your wireless router (unplugging it for 15 seconds, then plugging it back in), resetting network settings on your phone (in Settings>General>Reset), updating the firmware on your router, and changing the router's DNS settings to use Google's public DNS (see https://developers.google.com/speed/public-dns/docs/using).

First thing you should know is that After Effects is not a video editor. Premiere is for putting shots together to tell stories (which is editing), After Effects is for creating those shots (compositing and visual effects) and creating motion graphics.

Plug it in to power for at least 15 minutes. If it doesn't automatically come on, try a Reset... press the home and sleep/lock buttons until you see the Apple logo, ignoring the slider. Takes about 5-15 secs of button holding and you won't lose any data or settings.

After shutting down my iMac last night, Firefox will not open this morning and I don't know why?

My iMac is set to open to my home page My Yahoo with Firefox browser. This morning my Firefox browser is not opening and I don't know why? It does open on my new MacBook Air as per usual. I click on the icon but it does not respond even though I have opened it. this has never happened to me before and I don't know why it's happening now. I did a clean reinstall but that didn't work. Now what?????? With the add-on Troubleshooter should I have asked this question on my iMac using Safari? I am on my MacBook Air asking it.

Actually it does open but nothing shows up. I can't use my iMac unless I use the Safari browser and I want to use Firefox! I'm at my wits end as to how to fix this. I have tried everything that troubleshooting has suggested on Mozilla support. Help!!!!!!!!

Yesterday I checked my account and you have taken 46 pound from my account and I don't know why, so I'd like those 46 pound back please.

In my Macbook Pro finder folder under All Images, there are duplicate files, but one is small and the other is full size. I wanted to clean up the files, but don't know why I have two of everything. Any Ideas?

In my Macbook Pro, the Finder folder has duplicate images in the 'all images' file. One image is small and the other is full size. First question is why do I have two of every image? Why is one small and the other large. Do I need two of everything? If not, which do I delete?
thanks, Jean

Hello fane,
Re: duplicate images in finder.
Nearly all images are JPG with a few GIF and PNG sprinkled in.
I opened the inspector so I do get info when opening each image, but it a slow process.
It seems that one image is around 70k while its twin can be up to 4Mb which is what comes unedited from my camera. Sometimes there will be 3 or 4 identical images in finder, but when I open iPhoto to see what ‘s really in the file, I find only one image, and it’s full sized.
Are all these extra images, even if they are aliases, taking up space on my drive? And should I delete them? The info bar says I have over 10,000 images, which is rather a lot for what I do.
I am unable to add the file size on the view menu as it is grayed out. Don’t know why it’s gray, but having that info on the screen would save a lot of time and fiddling with each image.
I am trying to resize selected pix so I can upload them to e-bay, which requires less than 70k. I have looked at resizing programs but most are for PC platform and not Mac, so I am trying to resize in the finder window under tools. Tedious at best. Any suggestions will be appreciated
Thanks for your help,

Try the following steps,
Sign into your computer and removal of credit card information. Here are the steps:
1) Open iTunes and sign in to the iTunes Store.
2) Select "View My Account" from the Store menu.
3) Enter your password and click the View Account button.
4) Click the Edit Payment Information button.
5) Select "None" as the payment type.
6) Click the Done button at the bottom of the page.
Reset your account password from the following link:
http://iforgot.apple.com
Phase 3:
Download a free content on to get recognized in iTunes.
To ensure your account is functioning, try downloading a free item from the iTunes Store. To do this, navigate to the iTunes Store main page by clicking the Home icon near the upper-left corner of the window. Scroll down and click the "FREE ON iTunes" link near the bottom of the main page, then select an item to download.
After you are able to download the free App try updating the billing information as usual.

I bought an album on itunes of my ipod touch 4. I don't know why but the album is deleted of my ipod and it isn't on itunes of my computer. With my computer, how can I re-download my album without having to buying it again???

read my question. also, I don't know why but I cant click on "achat" or purchase on itunes store...

It can take a day or even two sometimes before the transaction is processed. Paypal is then the first to inform you by email and later it is Apple. I have a credit card in my Paypal account which means that I don't have to put money into Paypal.
And if the purchase is not billed at all, no problem at all I guess.

No network after first pacman -Syu, don't know why
