    DHCP
    If you have a DHCP server running on your router you could set the values to DHCP using netconfig. Slackware will use dhcpcd as preferred DHCP client, dhclient is also possible but could be those two programs conflict when used simutaniously. dhcpcd is an excellent client, no need to use a different one.

    or STATIC
    If you are not sure you have a running DHCP server on your router you could try to configure your nic with a static IP address. That could be done using the same netconfig script.
    If your router has for example 192.168.1.1 as an address you could assign 192.168.1.2 to your nic, netmask should be the same as on the router, probably something like 255.255.255.0 . Configure the internal IP address from your router as gateway and use the DNS servers from your ISP .

    More info on http://www.slackware.com/config/network.php

    To check if the correct module has been loaded type
    Code:
    lsmod
    on a console and check if tulip is listed there.
    I\'m so tired .....

    Try running:
    Code:
    modprobe tulip
    and see how that works.

    Here ya go

    Code:
    /lib/modules/2.4.26/kernel/drivers/net/tulip/tulip.o.gz: init_module: No such device
/lib/modules/2.4.26/kernel/drivers/net/tulip/tulip.o.gz: Hint: insmod errors can be caused by incorrect                                      module parameters, including invalid IO or IRQ parameters.
      You may find more information in syslog or the output from dmesg
/lib/modules/2.4.26/kernel/drivers/net/tulip/tulip.o.gz: insmod /lib/modules/2.4.26/kernel/drivers/net/                                     tulip/tulip.o.gz failed
/lib/modules/2.4.26/kernel/drivers/net/tulip/tulip.o.gz: insmod tulip failed

    Well then I'd say you were right, that wasn't the right driver...
    What's the exact model of your NIC?
