Kernels and modules come from Slackware 7.1. Packages come
from Slackware 4.0 (or earlier).

Unfortunately, axnet_cs is a recent module and is not in
Slackware 7.1. Sadly, that leaves you with no easy options.
You could try compiling a 2.2.16 version of the module from
source (if available) or you could try replacing the kernel
with a more recent one that does have the axnet_cs module.

BasicLinux is targetted at old hardware. It does not try
to be compatible with recent hardware.
