In Fedora I just > had to activate eth1, eth0 was taken by the onboard LAN card. It seems to me that Fedora is finding your add-on PCI card and assigning it eth0, yet Slackware is assigning it eth1 !? I expected, since you disabled the on-board ether device, all distributions would only find a 'eth0'. So, if Slackware assigns it 'eth1' and your rc.inet1.conf assigns DHCP to eth0, it will not work. Run dhcpcd from a console. If Slackware sees your PCI NIC as eth1; dhcpcd eth1 If that works, you can either edit rc.inet1.conf or add 'dhcpcd eth1' to rc.local.
