how to install rc.modules


I am having problems getting my network up and running. I am currently trying to locate the /etc/rc.d/rc.modules file. However, it is not there. It says my network card may not be detected properly. I have a 3Com 3C905-TX PCI card. Is there a way to check to see if my network card is installed properly? I tried lspci but it says command not found.

lspci is typically not in user's path. Try running as root, or /sbin/lspci

I'm wondering what happened to your rc.modules. Somethings' not right if that's missing.

I have the very basic installation of Slackware 8.1 with the 20 files. I have only added a couple other packages.

elvis
inetd
iptables
openssh
openssl
portmap
tcpip

I tried netconfig and setup all the parameters in there. Still doesn't work running /sbin/lspci. Which package contains lspci or whatever I need to run it.

Thanks...

I'm not sure which package includes lspci.

You're probably missing another package that's needed for networking.
