new hardware

[friskydrifter]

Just installed Slackware 8.1 for a look but in the install i chose to ignore setting up the network because i didn't have a NIC in ant that time. I now put in the NIC but dont know how to detect it, or configure it?

I cant seem to find the ifcfg-ethX files
doesnt have kudzu either :-P

Thanks

Ah it's cool I got it now, netconfig

sweet.
you may also have to tell it to load the correct module for the card, im not sure if netconfig does that for you too

No, you were supposed to edit the text files like the rest of us 1337 |-|4|{0r5

OK 33di0t H4}{0R, LOL, which files and what should i be doing to them?
BTW Alastair, netconfig does try to install the correct module for the card - it did mine anyway

Edit /etc/rc.d/rc.modules to load the proper module. Then edit rc.inet1 to use DHCP or not.
