I went back to a much older version.  I can report that I didn't have the internet connection problem if I used version 1.1 it worked fine.  I have no idea what version I'll encounter the problem, but if someone has the same problem they might just try an older version.

I too cannot get internet/network after I install DSL. It works fine off of the live CD, but it ran slowly (Pentium MMX 200, 64MB ram), so I installed to the hard drive, which worked much better. First I used 3.2 (latest version) which worked until the hd install, then it only worked once. I had used it and restarted it, and the next time it wouldn't work. Second thing was to install 3.1 over 3.2 using the built in install, and that worked off of the CD but not on the install either. I couldn't figure out how to use the lines that robert put in the second post of this thread, since I don't know how to get access to the CD-ROM drive from DSL. I'm using an SMC 1211TX network card, if that helps. Thanks!

All of this seems to originate from the b44.o module that was accepted into the base with v3.2.

v3.3 has dropped back to the b44.o module that was in all prior versions of DSL.

You may want to check out v3.3 currently at RC1.
