Yes.  Actually the floppy version of BL3 boots
with LILO and uses it for the HD installation.

You need to insmod the correct module for your NIC.

After the insmod, you do: 
-------------------------
ifconfig eth0 192.168.1.1
-------------------------
That number is just an example.

It's not a command.  It's an editable script.
You'll find it in /root

BasicLinux does not use modprobe, it uses insmod:
------------
insmod tulip
------------
But first you need to go to Slackware 7.1 and get 
tulip.o from the /modules/2.2.16/net directory.  
Put it in:  /lib/modules/2.2.16/misc

> Should I try to find another NIC? 

No, if it's a tulip NIC, the tulip.o module should
work (as long as you get it from Slackware 7.1).

Cheers,
Steven
