Just installed Slackware 9.1 and I'm having problems getting my dsl connection working. Built in lan card, I've had this card working fine on previous installs of 9.1 and 10, also Fedora.

Not sure how much of this is relevant information, but it was all I could think of. Suggestions?

Scott

Did you compile the nforce networking support
as a module or built-in? I can't see it in the modules
listing ... does your dmesg mention it?


Cheers,
Tink

Not sure about your previous install but that driver is not loaded by in your modprobe listing.
here is a link to the driver provided but Nvidia:

http://www.nvidia.com/object/linux_nforce_1.0-0248.html

I believe there is a revers enged' driver in the 2.6 kernel.

Ok, that was it, just installed the drivers. Now that I think about it, the last time I installed 9.1 was my other box, different lan card. Slack 10 automatically recognized this card. Thanks for the help.
