I don't have a slackware system. I just have the their net.i utility on
a floppy disk to give me a little info on the network card. It was
recommended in an article. I've also read that if Debian won't install
the drivers for the network card that you can go to the rc.modules file
and un-comment the line for that particular card, but I can't seem to
find that file with the "whereis" command. I guess I'll keep on looking.
Thanks for asking, though.
