I'm installing slack 10.2 on my inspiron 1300 (dual booted) and my main problem is I want to get wireless working, but before that I want to get my ethernet working.

so I insmod b44 for my ethernet card then set up the route (route add default gw 192.168.1.1) and set up my static ip and everything... but it still doesn't work. The LED indicator for the nic light still isn't even on and my router doesn't see the port as being up... any ideas?
