Actually your config file says you are supposed to be creating a lot of
modules. But not the NIC drivers; that's true. However, you do need to pass

actually recall how, when you don't use the ne.o module.)

I think I've suggested before that you run "ifconfig -a" and tell us what
output it produces.

Three places to look:

1. /var/log/messages .

2. dmesg

3. Backscroll on the console (SHIFT-PgUp), if Slackware 7 supports that.

I didn't bother to try the rest of them, given this response.
