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?
