    up my nic

    hi

    I installed a second nic, but i can't get it to `ifconfig up`.. it keeps saying

    root@boxer:/home/me# ifconfig eth1 up
    eth1: unknown interface: No such device

    The nic does work, since i got it up using another distro, but on my slackware it doesn't work. Although i loaded the required modules. I also tried to append configuration parameters to my kernel at boot time, still doesn't work

    if you know about a way to get it configured please reply.
    thanks

    do you have the following line in /etc/modules.conf:

    alias eth1 <driver>
    [ [ SykkN alloc ] initWithThePowerTo: destroyYouAll ];
    /* Don\'t make me use it! */
