2.6 NIC detection


I am running Slack 9.1 and can't get my NICs detected. It's fine on my 2.4 and hotplug is running. Any clues?

Try to find out what your NICs are and at them to your startup scripts. To detect them, try "lspci" and then look in /lib/modules/2.6.x/kernel/drivers/net for something that seems to match the NIC chipset that you saw in lspci. To check if you have the right module, do "modprobe <module_name>". If you don't get any errors, you found the right module. Then, edit /etc/rc.d/rc.modules so that the module will get loaded on boot.
