Yes, but you've hit an installer which is "too" smart and tries to actually detect the card, load the module and configure it. And its list does not include any UML driver, obviously. In such situations, you can just try faking or modifying the installer someway. If it just tries to load a network module and get success from modprobe, even an alias like install ne2000 /bin/true in /etc/modprobe.conf (if that's read by the initrd) might help. > The drivers list just brings up a long list of network card > drivers such as 3com, intel express, ne2000, etc. If I try selecting any > of those it says is can't find the module and asks me to select another > driver. > If I boot the slackware guest using the same kernel then I can bring the > networking up simply by logging in as root and doing "ifconfig eth0 > 172.16.0.101 up". -- Inform me of my mistakes, so I can add them to my list!
