LAN drivers on Slack 11 not working (Sony VAIO)
Hi
I installed Slackware 11 like three months ago and I just can't get my network to work, I tried a lot of things, I even changed my kernel around 3 times, I'm using a Sony VAIO laptop, I've been looking around to find the appropriate drivers and a guide about how to install them but I'm going INSANE!!! can you please point me in the right direction?? I would love to stop using Windows but I'll do it until I can get the network to work. Thanks for your time. |
Welcome to LQ!
Please post the output of /sbin/lspci from a terminal/konsole/xterm. Use [_code] without the underscore (_) before your output, and [_/code] without the underscore after your output. P.S. Your post should be in the Slackware forum, or Hardware, but not Software. |
The drivers would probably work if there was correct kind of hardware around. VAIOs are troublematic, in my experience, but not impossible to work with :) post the lspci output, like asked, and it might not hurt to
Code:
dmesg |
Moved: This thread is more suitable in Linux Hardware and has been moved accordingly to help your thread/question get the exposure it deserves.

Hi
Sorry for the delay, I ran those commands today but now I have another one :( I can't share information between my linux partitions and Windows, I can see the files in Windows from Linux but not the other way around, do you know if editing the fstab file would do?? if so...how should the line look like?? thanks again for your help |
Windows is blind to Linux file systems. Microsoft does not want it's users to have anything to do with *nix, therefore, they are not going to code it to see Linux file systems.
You can use Samba to see those file systems from Windows -- I think that's it. If I'm understanding you, the object is to write to a Windows partition from Linux so that you can post this information. (You could put the files on an USB flash disk or something.) This is my /etc/fstab file for this Slackware computer (one of many): Code:
mingdao@silas:~$ cat /etc/fstab |
