I tried to install BL3.50 on another machine from 1995 (486DX 24 MB RAM).

I can't get the network interface card (NIC) to work. It's an Intel EtherExpress PRO/100+ PCI Adapter H/W ver. 008. I have put in eepro100.o from <http://slackware.cs.utah.edu/pub/slackware/slackware-4.0/modules/2.2.6/net/>. (I had to transfer it on diskette. Actually there was room enough on the BL3.50 diskette 2.)
"insmod eepro100" works. When I try udhcpc it warns about /dev/urandom missing and then does "Sending discover..." for an infinite number of times, or until i break it.

The NIC works on the same computer using Windows 95 and Blueflops Linux 2.0.15. Blueflops does also use udhcpc. (Blueflops can't be installed on my HDD and has problems switching from X to text. BasicLinux works well in these senses.)

What could I do to make my NIC work?
