Hi,

Slackware 10.1 kernel 2.4.29

My onboard LAN card on the mobo failed and I had to switch to an external LAN card.

I disabled in BIOS Ethernet onboard. Then I did netconfig. Slackware found the LAN card I entered all necessary data and the configuration went w/o any errors.
Unfortunately no I cannot connect any longer to the Internet in Slackware yet still in edora4 and DSL.

As requested by Ray
Here are the ouputs of ifconfig -a, lsmod and dmesg of the 3 different distros:

In the following lsmod I cut out the snd- bits since they are very long.
