I am beginning to think you have the same problem i have with my NE2000
card under slackware's distribution kernel, it JUST WONT work.
I "always need" to compile my own kernel.
I've had this with slackware 7 and recently with slackware 7.1
both did not work.
I must admit i missed that you were using slackware.
