Any idea ?

Same problem here, it doesn;t work. Same symptoms and messages. Link is down.

But actually my network card doesnt show when ifconfig is called, only loopback is there.

I am trying to download and make a new kernel and see. Should I download and apply .patch as well?

Same problem on Slack 11 with huge26.s 2.6.17.13 kernel. But latest version of Slax live CD works...so it must be possible
