if you look at post #27 you would find what you asked me to do but after that you did not follow it, that is why i do not know what to do now to get connected to the internet with on my slackware11 OS.
as it was suggested be GENERAL FAILURE to change id:3:initdefault:
to id:4:initdefault: but you see in post it is already id:4:initdefault: so i also do not understand his way of dianling onboard network adapter, and i don't know how would this resolve my network connection problems.

thank you so much.

please ignore post #31 as it is mistyped and consider the following:

Changing your default runlevel (or not, in your case) has nothing to do with your network card. If you want to disable you onboard card, that will need to be done in the BIOS. When you switch on your machine, you should see something like "Press <key> to enter setup" and that's the key you need to press.

Are you connected by Ethernet or USB?

hi, i am connected by usb

thank you

I think you need to configure eth1, rather than eth0 in that case. This page suggests that (please note that it's not specific to Slackware, so some things will be different).

Slemany, by disabling your onboard network in the way Nylex explained above you automatically make the usb network eth0 instead of eth1. Then you can configure the network in the standard way.
