So you are telling me that 2.6.38 does not have a working networking on

Yes, netback did not go upstream until 2.6.39 so PV networking (either
for PV or HVM guests with PV drivers) will not work on mainline kernels
before that.

Emulated HVM networking does not use netback so that will work on
earlier kernels (it depends on qemu)

Ok, thanks, it all makes more sense now. :-)
