modules

did you configure, build, and install the modules you are missing? i don't know any commands for slackware, but the makefile should support the "make modules_install" command, and there is "make help". see section COMPILING in the README in the sources directory.

have you enabled the network card in the vmware configuration?

I may be able to help you with the Slacware stuff. But, not with the VmWare stuff.

strcmp guessed it right: you can issue

cd /lib/modules/`uname -r`/build
make modules
make modules_install

to install the modules.
