Hi guys,
if going about Slackware I'm totaly newbie. So maybe You can help me.
I hew to know which network card kernel module is linked witch
interface, or another word which kernel module have my netwrok card. I
was trying to use modprobe -l | grep eth and then modinfo, but result
was poor. Also trying Debian's modconf, but unfortunately not working
on Slackware.
Thanks for help.
Regards
Kajtek

Hi there;

I can be wrong, but I think "netconfig" which runs as part of the slackware
install routine usually modifies "/etc/rc.d/rc.modules" to reflect a probed
ethernet card. You can try to run "netconfig" from the command line and then
"/etc/rc.d/rc.inet1 restart" to see if it works automagically.
Otherwise: let us know which network card you have in your box. Having
identified which module to load all there is to do is to remove the "#" in
the corresponding line in "/etc/rc.d/rc.modules".
All this assuming you're using the stock 2.4.33.3 kernel that ships with
Slackware...

It was good idea, thak you.
I get e1000 but have no modules whih have similar name. So i suppose
that driver for my network card is compiled into kernel.
Any way, have You idea how can I change my interface. Because I have 2
cards and I want to switch eth0 to eth1 and eth1 to eth0.
can I use ethtool for this purposses?
With best regards.

Configure MAC address in udev _if_ you have kernel 2.6

ethtool won't do that.

I've used the /etc/rc.d/rc.netdevice file to control the sequence
of device names. whichever is listed first is eth0, second is
eth1, etc...

I've used the kernel boot prompt to control the sequence of
device names. see the bootprompt howto and the lilo docs
for 'append' statement.

IIRC i've also changed the device sequence by swapping the
physical location of the card ... not sure tho.

Kajtek,
I am running Slackware 11 on a Dell D820 laptop. At first, I
couldn't get my ethernet card to be recognized. Here is what I did
to get it working:
In Kde, I selected 'Control center', then 'Internet and Network',
then 'Network Settings'. I got a message saying that my operating
system was not supported, and a list of a lot of Linux versions for me
to pick from. I tried using the Slackware versions that were listed,
but none would work. Finally, I selected "Free bsd 5", and after that
my ethernet card was working fine.
I hope that this may help you.
Good luck,
Steve
