something like : ethernet card found at io=0x300 with irq=0x9

ISA, ne2000 compatible

no hardware problem since it works with DOS

Now the solution :

I installed ifconfig and ping from Slackware 4.0. With "ifconfig eth0 
<ipaddress>" and after installing /etc/protocols from elsewhere ping 
worked too (before I got from ping : unknown protocol icmp).

So my conclusion : problem with busybox. I don't know which other commands 
will not work. Does anybody know for which processor/library it is 
compiled?

BTW, is /etc/protocols only missing on my system? I wonder why nobody else 
seems to have my problems.

Bye,

Rainer
