My pc doesn't hava a ethernet card and I use a USB to ethernet adapter.
I boot my pc with a live CD distribution (SLAX) and the adapter is
recognized without doing anything.
I install on this PC Linux CentOS 4. The installation is OK but the
adapter is not detected and it is mot possible to view the lan. What
can I do to configure the USB adapter?

Boot slax & run "lsmod" in a terminal window, making a list of the
loaded modules.

Do the same thing after booting your other distribution.

For each module in the slax list, that is not in the CentOS list, try
"modprobe [module name]". You may also need to run "dhcpc" to join
your network. It might work...

Also, in each distribution run "uname -a" to see which kernel version
is running - maybe you need a kernel update.
