Well thanks for the note.
I am about to give up on this ethernet card.
I looked at /proc/pci and I should have seen a line in there for this new ethernet card and I do but it should read:
"....1186:4C00 "
But instead I see "...1186:4b01 .." ??
I presume that as long as the system sees that card as it does than things will never work.
I went to D-Link and downloaded their driver. I installed it both with 'installpkg' and later by untarring the file and doing it manually. It doesn't give me anymore than what Slackware was already giving me..
So I am at a loss. My syslog reports that it can't find the card which is consistent with the difference in that /proc/pci file..
Any further help would be appreciated. Maybe I need a new options line for the modules.conf file? Current I have tried no options, and finally 'modprobe sk98lin AutoNeg=On,Off DupCap=Full,Half
