How do i get my network card working
I just had a major problem where my pc wouldn't even post, found out it's the network card, bought a new one and now i can't connect to the internet
New to linux and wondering how to install the drivers for an AirLink+ 10/100 PCI network card, drivers not on the website.
And i'm using slackware 9.0

hello,
that NIC uses the VIA VT6105 Rhine III chip set - select via-rhine for a driver - in /etc/modules.conf have the line alias eth0 via-rhine and you should be set.
