I have highspeed internet, and it works fine on my old Imac, but not with a slackware 10 box. I have tried two different cards and both do not work.
"ifconfig -a " recognizes the cards but "ifconfig" does not. "route" only shows 0.0.0.0. The file /proc/interupts doesn't show any errors. The 3com SOHO Hurricane card uses the 3c95x module. The Accton tech corp SMC2-1211TX card uses the 8139too module. Any advise? Any questions?
