Hi, Peter:
Yep, it said 'no such device' not 'no such module', so your kernel
doesn't find the device. Review:
http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/history/113041
"... try another slack kernel like bareacpi.i or similar
(especially on a laptop)..."
You could contact the dmfe module author
(/usr/src/linux/Documentation/networking/dmfe.txt)
or report a 'bug' to Slackware.
HTH, Chuck
