initial configuration of network on Slackware
I installed Slackware 14.2 x86 32 bit on Friday on my Dell Inspiron 5150 laptop(Pentium 4, 2Gb RAM, 80 Gb hard drive, Broadcom 44xx/47xx PCI ethernet driver, Broadcom B43 wireless driver) and cannot connect to the internet via the ethernet, nor can I connect via wireless.
I know that both are working properly, since I am writing this from the same computer, using a live CD of Slacko Puppy Linux 6.3.2
What can I do to fix this?
A question within a question: do I need use vi to edit the/etc/rd.d/rc.modules file?
I am a complete Linux newbie but still want to use Slackware as my main learning tool. This computer is what I currently have available, so any help is appreciated.
Thank you for all help!
