1.) Uncomment the Ethernet modules you need. Many of the newer PCI base ethernet modules require a pci-scan module. Uncomment the supporting modules too! 2.) Next hurdle is the new way of thinking with a LEAF distribution. The whole OS is all contained in memory. So even though you saved your changes, they will not survive a reboot. But on the flip side that's great because if there is a problem a person just reboots. What this means to you is that you many not be using the backup menu to save the changes you just made to the modules file. Please use lrcfg--you boot into it as root--and select the b option for Back-up. Use "d modules" and "t modules" to set the destination and type of backup respectfully. d should be floppy and t should be partial. You will use this technique later when you master the modules and start configuring other packages. 3.) Make sure you have some sort of configuration option on your floppy. I can boot from a cdrom so I only have a lrpkg.cfg file containing the single line with out quotes of "etc,local,modules,ramlog,dhclient,dnscache,dhcpd,weblet,lncurses,vim". This is a good newbie configuration. 4.) reboot 5.) See if you have ethernet connectivity. If so continue on configuring the rest of the modules. 6.) Report back and let us know if you have success. 7.) Most of all give yourself patience. It is worth the wait to get your feet wet with a leaf distro. LOL we were all newbies once except people like Ray O., Charles S., and Dave Douthitt.
