I recently installed slackware 11 and have been very happy with it until I found out that some gnome related apps can cause gnome's network manager to alter the rc.init1 script by adding 3 lines to the script containing only the command, eth_up. This causes the script not to run properly and not intialize eth0. I took these back out of the script and still could not get eth0 intialized. I replaced the rc.inet1 with the original rc.inet1 that slack 11 installs and now the rc.inet1 script runs and returns no errors, however, ifconfig still shows no eth0, and network applications return error 101:no connection to network. Have I missed a step somewhere? Please help!

post your rc.init1 script..
