I am fairly new to linux and have not yet been using it 6 months. I have however finally decided to stick with slackware and got everything working nicely with a windoze/linux 2 comp network.
However, I found the 2.4.5 kernel which came with slack8.0 and decided to install it, and now it won't detect the network card.
Tried netconfig (which failed to probe the network card) and rc.inet1 is still intact. Ping won't find the other comp.
Using a network card with the realtech chipset and rather baffled about this now
