I have searched this and many other forums for info on customizing backtrack and/or the slackware running the system and I havent been able to find any help for my specific system so I am posting here in hopes that those more knowledgable than I can offer a little help in pointing me to the info I seek. (BTW: everyone here is likely more knowledgable than I, I do not normally use any version of Linux thus I am a newbie to the whole OS. I took a Linux class in college, an intro of sorts which covered very basic things.)

Anyway, here goes:

I installed BackTrack on the hard drive in a dual boot (I couldnt get the process described in these forums to work so I used the process exampled in my class text that was for FC4 and it worked perfectly and uses ntloader instead of lilo or grub).

When I load BackTrack from the hard drive I have to type dhcpcd into the terminal to initialize the laptop ethernet card every time, i would like this done automatically, however i cannot find a place to make it happen.

Next, I would like to include my system specific drivers to BackTrack because (1) the generic drivers are blah, and (2) a few devices do not get installed (wireless NIC for one) but I cannot find the driver files I need either because I dont know what they are or because I dont know where to look.

My laptop is an ACER 5002wLMI
1024M RAM (128 shared with video)
SiS m760gx video adapter
ac'97 realtek audio
SiS 900-Based PCI ethernet (installed and working)
Broadcom 802.11g wireless NIC (not installed)
Agere Systems AC'97 Modem (installed, i think)
Texas Instruments PCI-1410 CardBus Controller (I dont know if this is installed or not)

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Please keep in mind my limited knowledge of the Linux OS and know that I am willing and wanting to learn.

Thank you.
