can't connect to the net with laptop
I just installed Slack on Dell Inspiron 9100 and am working through the details of getting it up and running. Right now the big hurdle has turned out to be the onboard ethernet. I hook it up to my DSL modem but I get nothing. Upon bootup, this is the error that I get...
dhcpdc[152] : timed out waiting for a valid DHCP server response
b44: eth0: BUG! Timeout waiting for bit 80000000 of register 428 to clear.

Btw, I run netconfig and set it up to connect via DHCP and it still does this.
I'm thinking maybe there's something special that I need to do to set up the ethernet with it being onboard.
What do ya think?
