Hi,
I have just installed slackware,without setting the network configure(ignored).All is ok during the installation.after rebooting,i just cannot access the networking.
of course,i have tried to configured it by netconfig,ifconfig,and editing the etc files,but they all don't work.
i don't it is because my nic is not supported,for by ifconfig it tells the mac address which is right,and i guess i just didn't configure the networking properly,please give me
some more detailed advice on configuring it,much appreciated!
i access my campus Lan by a router,and there is a DNS server to access the internet,likely using DHCP.

Try booting to the install CD, running the setup command, then selecting and running the network setup script that you omitted the first time. That's likely the quickest way. Don't worry about the prompt to enter a domain name--just make something up. I always use bell-dot-org.

Try to configure it with

Did you install wicd from /extra?

thanks all for reply.
what is wicd? and i am not sure if i installed /extra.And while installing,i didn't even notice 'extra' stuff....Any way,does it help? i have not tried.

From what media did you install Slackware? On the DVD you will find a directory called /extra. In there you will find a directory labeled, wicd. If you used the CD set it might be the last or one of the last CDs. Or, you can download it from here,

wicd is described as follows:
Good luck and enjoy Slackware.

i tried that,doesn't work.

i tried that,it is the same as netconfig,doesn't work,either.
now,i can't help suspecting that the kernel doesn't support my NIC?though at first i denied that,but...

so how do i add relative modules(if so)or how to verify it is the problem?
thanks

Please post the output of so that we can see which network hardware is in your machine.

Actually, can we see the output of:
I think your wireless NIC is supported, but you likely just haven't set up networking properly.

by lspci,i am 100% sure my slackware knows my Intel PCI-e NIC,i don't paste the content of it because i am using other's XP and it is not quite needed(i believe).

so,up here,i really have no idea how to solve this.yes,i don't think it is a difficult problem,but it does is still there.And i do get a little upset.

Any more advice?thanks

If your NIC is indeed supported, install wicd to configure your network.

I'm glad that you know what we need to know to help you.

I'm now 100% sure that you can figure this out on your own.

There would be advice if you wouldn't deny to give us information about your problem. We could help you further if we would at least know the hardware.

If you are not willing to provide us information about your system, you will have to figure it out on your own.
Try reading http://alien.slackbook.org/dokuwiki/...ckware:network or else run "man rc.inet1.conf" which will give you a condensed view of that Wiki page.
