Networking Connection Problems

[xnubie]

Gateway Laptop 8510GZ
NIC: Broadcom NetXtreme Gigabit Ethernet
Intel Pro/Wireless 2200BG Network

I'm having trouble establishing a network connection with my system. I just installed Bactrack2. My system is a dual boot system (WinXP/Linux). I've read through all the threads as far as getting both wired and wireless devices to work and can't get anywhere.

First when when I tried the command

ifconfig eth0 up

it responds with : SIOCSIFFLAGS: Device or resource busy

Most of the threads I've read advises to turn of Plug-N-Play in the BIOS. I've done that and still no luck.

The second half of my question has to do with the built-in internal wireless. The wireless adapter is an Intel Pro/2200. When I type the command:

iwconfig it returns this response:

lo no wireless extensions
eth0 no wireless extensions

I would appreciate any help anyone out there can share.

Tried Googling for a solution to research how to get my eth0 to work and still no luck. Even looked at /proc/interrupts and the results were as follows:

0 - timer
1 - i8042
2 - cascade
8 - rtc
9 - acpi
12 - i8042
14 - ide0

even tried installing tg3-3.81c-1.src.rpm and still couldn't get it to work. I've read through the slackware text and couldnt' find anything there either.

Please help.
