network interface card problem after kernel upgrade

B

Hi. I upgraded my 9.0 kernel to 10.0 and currently using 10.0. In 10.0 in /etc/rc.conf, I configured the network interfaces and they work fine. But when I try to open the old kernel, at the boot stage it gives the network unreachable error so I booted it in single user mode and see that when I control with ifconfig(8) no interfaces are listed and ifconfig(8) output is empty. It seems drivers are none. How can I fix it?
Thanks

For some performance related issues related to smp and pf I upgraded to 10.0 and using it. Rebuilded the world and kernel and works fine. Is it normal that the old kernel's network drivers not working?
 
Well, it's normal for binaries that are a major version higher than the kernel to not understand each other. Keep in mind that "updating" involves more than just a kernel.
