Installing Network Card for DSL on Slackware 10.0.
I'm trying to get myself setup for broadband on my Slackware 10.0 installation. I really haven't a clue where to start to be honest!
I've fitted a Belkin PCI network card (F5D5000 I think), which I got working fine under Win 98; but I don't know where to start to get it working in Linux. Is there a driver I require for it? Certainly the Belkin website has no Linux drivers.
When (or if!) I get the network card working, the next stage will be to get it talking to the DSL box (it's a Zyxel box or however it's spelt). At this stage my phone line hasn't been connected for broadband quite yet, so getting that working will have to wait for a few days. But is there anything I can do in the meantime to setup to get the DSL box up and ready for it?
Thanks in advance....

Daniël de Kok's Slackware Linux Basics: For Slackware Linux 10.2 guide
has a nice Networking configuration section which might help you.
It's not much different than 10.0 iirc.

Hi,
Depending on the model of the Zyxel modem/router you can do some local work on it via the 192.168.1.1 address. The defaults for the modem are in your manual.
Setup is rather straight forward. You can setup your LAN without the firewall enabled. This will allow ease of use then enable the firewall once everything is working.
As for the NIC, you can use the LQ HCL
to check compatibility.
There are other lists to compare/check, just google!

While fiddling aroun in Windows 98 I realised I had an IRQ sharing issue, which prevented the NIC from working correctly. The solution was to rearrange my PCI cards so the NIC was not sharing an IRQ. Under Windows I can now talk to the router without problems (well, the installation CD implies it).
Since I've rearranged the PCI card, bloomin' Slackware hangs while booting!! I can't believe doing so would do this? I'll try and jot down the last few lines of the booting up listings, but is there something I can do to track down this problem?
I've also got a third OS on my PC which is a stripped down Slackware (I think it is anyway, it was so long ago I did it and never really touch it) on a single partition which has a basic fluxbox frontend. I booted this up and it didn't hang, so it's all getting a bit weird.
BTW, thanks for the networking config. page, that'll come in useful....when I can get back into it!!!

Hi,
I would suggest that you use the hacked version that booted without hang. Or a LiveCD or install cd to boot. Check out;
Code:
#dmesg |grep eth #this will show recognized info
#lspci -vv #very verbose information
Post this un-edited! Check for IRQs'
Another place to look is the rc.netdevice if you probed for your device during installation then it is possible the rc.netdevice could be passing an irq with conflict. This would depend on the probed NIC before you moved the pci slot assignment.
You could use the nohotplug option at boot for your slackware install to disable hotplug.
If you boot using another linux without an error then use this to mount your <bad?> install then chroot to the mount. Here I would make sure /mount_point/etc/rc.d/rc.hotplug was not executable (chmod). I suspect the module load is where you are hanging. Try a reboot and see what happens. If this works then you need to edit rc.netdevice to see what was probed. You could use rc.modules to load your device.

I'll go and try that and let you know how I get on.
Just to expand on where it hangs these are the last few lines I see before it gets stuck:
PCI: Found IRQ 5 for device 00:0f.0
PCI: Sharing IRQ 5 with 00:08.0
PCI: Sharing IRQ 5 with 00:08.1
ohci1394: $Rev: 1045 $ Ben Collins <bcollins@debian.org>
PCI: Found IRQ 10 for device 00:08.4
ohci1394_0: OHCI-1394 1.1 (PCI): IRQ=[10] MMIO=[db002000-db0027ff] Max Packet[2048]

Sorry for the long delay, haven't been near the PC for a while. It appears the soundcard has now been sacrificed to let the NIC work. It would be good to get that back working again too.
Anyway, this is output from dmesg | grep eth:

Can you explain that? It might be apparent to the other guys,
but I see your ethernet card on IRQ 11 and sound on IRQ 5.
