I have done very very little with Linux for months.

Today I groggily got both these computers running (BL 2.1) , and in their 
respective /etc/rc.d/rc.S  files, among other things there are lines to

insmod rtl8139.0   

and

insmod  3c59x.o

(Actually the second one gives the full path to the  3c59x.o ; probably 
that's not needed?)

I guess 3c59x.o means it's a 3com card - don't remember - it's what came 
with my $55 computer from last Sept or Oct.

The one in this computer is a Belkin F5D5000 (according to Windows), but 
I think I saw some other name for it. I guess I got the two  .o files for 
the cards  from Slackware or ???
