The boot image usbboot.img is identical with that shipped with the Slackware 12.2 distribution, except that it inlcudes a driver for Atheros(R) L2 Fast Ethernet Adapter. The driver is called atl2 and is loaded automatically. After setup, you will have to copy it to /mnt/lib/modules/2.6.27.7-smp/kernel/drivers/net. Alternately, you may install the kernel-modules-smp-2.6.27.7_smp-i686-2.tgz package from the ../packages directory. .
