nope, don't matter...I assume the router provides DHCP, so open /etc/network/interfaces and add (after the loopback entry):
when done restart the networking:
and you should have a connection...
Code: Select all
auto eth0
iface eth0 inet dhcp
Code: Select all
/etc/init.d/networking restart

auto eth0
iface eth0 inet dhcp is already there.
backtrack3 automatically recognized the drivers yet bt4 does not ..hm.
