    1.19 -<p>
    1.20 -By default SliTaz starts a DHCP client (udhcpc) on eth0 at boot time. If your
    1.21 -network card has been identified as an <code>eth0</code> interface and you use
    1.22 -a router, your connection should already be working. DHCP is dynamically
    1.23 -configured, on each boot the client asks for a new IP address from 
    1.24 -the DHCP server, which is integrated into the router, or on another computer.
    1.25 -If you need a static IP, you can directly edit config files or use the GUI
    1.26 -<code>netbox</code> available from JWM menu --&gt; System tools. In a terminal
    1.27 -or a Linux console, you can list all available network interfaces with the 
    1.28 -command <code>ifconfig</code> followed by the <code>-a</code> option:
    1.29 -</p>
    1.30 -<pre>
    1.31 - $ ifconfig -a
    1.32 -</pre>
    1.33 -<p>
    1.34 -The system wide network configuration file is <code>/etc/network.conf</code>,
    1.35 -it can be graphically configured with <code>netbox</code> or directly edited by
    1.36 -the root administrator.

    1.38 -<h4>Install network card driver</h4>
    1.39 -<p>
    1.40 -In case you need a network card driver and dont know the driver name, you can
    1.41 -use the command <code>lspci</code> to find your card and then <code>modprobe</code>
    1.42 -to load a module. In Live mode you can use the SliTaz boot option 
    1.43 -<code>modprobe=modules</code> to automatically load Kernel modules. To get a 
    1.44 -list of all available network card drivers, display PCI eth cards and load a
    1.45 -module:
    1.46 -</p>
    1.47 -<pre>
    1.48 - # modprobe -l | grep drivers/net

    1.50 - # modprobe -v module_name
    1.51 -</pre>
    1.52 -<p>
    1.53 -On an installed system you just need to add the module_name to the variable 
    1.54 -<code>LOAD_MODULES </code> in <code>/etc/rcS.conf</code> to load your module 
    1.55 -on each boot.
