Ok, I posted this question in the hardware forum, to no avail. Hopefully I'll get a llittle more luck here =)
I currently have this NIC installed. My question is this. Before I install Slack 10, I want to know if I am likely to encounter any problems using this to connect to the internet? This tends to be the main thing stopping me from fully learning Linux, so before I install on this box, I'd like to know if I'm likely to succeed.
What should I have to do to get it working under Slackware 10 if it wont work out of the box?
Could you elaborate slightly on the activate network part? On the installation, when it asks for details such as hostname etc, I never know what to put. Any help setting this up would be much appreciated, and I'll try and mess around with the boot CD's now.
