Thanks, Will. Recompiling the kernel with some more networking modules
definitely did the trick.
Wow, I'm amazed at how much faster Slackware runs KDE than the other
distros. It actually seems way faster than Gentoo.
After I ran Ubuntu/Automatix on the laptop, it went from a decent setup
to a crawl. Now it zips along quite nicely, wireless and all (with its
default 2.4.33.x kernel)

Well, sounds like the kernel wasn't compiled with that module...
If it was a firmware issue (does this card need firmware?) the error
would be different.

Subject: [909linux] Slackware 11 doesn't see my eth card on my HP
Omnibook
My default Slackware 11 install (2.6 kernel - huge26) doesn't see the
Intel 82801CAM eth card on my HP Omnibook laptop
It's a fresh install. This laptop has run everything from Red Hat to
Mandriva to Gentoo to (last install) Ubuntu. All worked perfectly with
the ethernet card.
ifconfig doesn't show my card.
"dmesg | grep eth" doesn't turn up anything interesting.
And when I run "sudo /sbin/modprobe e100", I get
"FATAL: Could not load /lib/modules/2.6.17.13/modules.dep: No such file
or directory"
Any ideas?
Roger
