The SW71 dhcp does not work with my new AT&T 2Wire Gateway (modem with 
router).  Busybox 1.32 udhcpc works. BL2 busybox does not seem to include 
udhcpc.  You can update to BL3 busybox, or if you know the router IP 
number and the range of IPs assigned/available

add to /etc/rc.d/rc.S (or BL3 /etc/rc.d) or make an alias or a script

/etc/pcmcia/start                        or      insmod 3c59x (non-pcmcia 
card)
sleep 3

ifconfig eth0 192.168.1.65
(this router assigns 64 and up)
route add default gw 192.168.1.254
(other routers are 10.0.0.1 or 192.168.0.1 etc.

Edit /etc/resolv.conf to
nameserver 192.168.1.254 (etc.)

I did not try a later Slackware dhcp.
I had no problems with my older 811B routers.

I am online with BL2 via the 2Wire, wired only, because it is set to use 
WPA, which my older wireless cards do not support.  And the newer ones are 
cardbus and need modules compiled and gcc 2.95.3 cannot handle the code.
I can pick up neighbor's signals, so don't want mine unencrypted.  WEP is 
too easy to crack.

I will work on BL2 cardbus support again.
