Salix Forums

Hi everybody
I have done installation of full version of last Salix. It works fine except that I have no network.
eth0 is absent from ls /dev even if lspci gives the good ethernet controller :
Ethernet Controller : Intel Corporation 82578DC Gigabit Network Connection (rev 5)

The module is absent from lsmod so I load it manually
modprobe e1000e
but the problem still be there. So I google a bit and found this post in slax forum

http://www.slax.org/forum.php?action=vi ... ntID=40894

Then I download new version of the module (from an other computer) but make install gives an error:
Linux kernel source not found in any of these locations:
Install the appropriate kernel development package, e.g.
kernel-devel, for building modules and try again

How can I install kernel-devel or kernel-source ? Or is there a package of new version of this module?

Thanks for help.

Doc

slapt-get -u
slapt-get -i kernel-source

Thanks for this reply.

But how to do without internet connection ?
Can I download manually from an other computer and how to install ?

I should have used my brain before posting You can find the kernel-source package here:
ftp://ftp.osuosl.org/pub/slackware/slac ... ackware/k/
Or on every other Slackware mirror in same directory: http://slackware.com/getslack/

Install it with:
installpkg kernel-source-2.6.29.6_smp-noarch-2.txz

Ok it works fine

Thank you very much Thenktor for your help.
