In an effort to get my wireless working, I've inadvertently broken my ethernet also.
First off, I'm a Linux noob. I didn't create a backup of my rcS.conf before I started editing (lesson learned). I deleted the ssb entry from "load module" as per a forum discussion on dell wireless.
I've given up on wireless for now and simply would like to get my wired connection back up and running, but don't know how to restore the rcS.conf ssb entry.
Don't remove any modules. 3c59x is your ethernet module depends on yenta_socket and ssb. The snd_intel8x0 snd_intel8x0m are for sound. To get your wireless working follow this: http://forum.slitaz.org/index.php/discussion/1229
