Internet problems with slackware

[chaotixmonjuish]

I recently installed Slackware 11 on my desktop. When I try to set up the network or do anything related to my ethernet port, nothing comes up. For example, ifconfig will only bring up a lp and not my two ethernet ports. However, lspci detects both of my ethernet ports. How do I got about solving this.

get to a command prompt and type netconfig this goes through finding your card and getting it working. if you want to can set it up to use dhcp which will be easier at first to make sure you dont have any other problems.

I'm really new at this, so I'm not sure if I used netconfig correctly. However, going through netconfig I didn't gain the internet.

try dhcpcd on the command line. sometimes it doesn't get loaded at first

[chaotixmonjuish]

nothing happened

[carlosponti]

did you type ifconfig after you typed dhcpcd? dhcpcd command starts the dhcp dameon.

first of all,you have network card(connected to a free pci port) or your ethernet port is from your motherboard(common asus m/b)?
if you have don't have network card,you should find and download the appropiate module(etc for me ,wich i have,asus motherboard with ethernet port i find the module in asus web-site,get description from windwos--> device manager,it would be much more easy).
install module and then:
as root:
1)modprobe e100
2)ifconfig eth0 <IP address> (assign a IP to your eth0)
3)route add default gw <IP of your gateway>
edit /etc/rc.d/rc.inet1.conf
fill up the section IP ADDRESS,Gateway adress with the upon values
restart x ....and you are ok!!!!!
if now,you have network card ,slackware should "see" and the only think that you have to do is step,1) 2) 3) as upon.......
have a good serfing - downloading ....

Step one: do lspci and post the output.

Step two: do lsmod and post the output.

Let's see just what we're trying to work with here.
