I have recently installed Slitaz and ran into the following problems:-
1. I am not able to connect to the network via Ethernet cable. It is supposed to auto connect but due to some reason there is no option on eth0
2. The top and bottom panels have suddenly gone missing and i do not know the commands to enable them back on.

A bit more details on the ethernet connection would be helpful:
-Are you using dhcp?
-Is the adapter listred under network configuration?
Then the panels. This is a known issue. check:
http://forum.slitaz.org/topic/the-taskbar-is-missing#post-21857
To bring back both panels:
rm ~/.config/lxpanel/slitaz/panels/*
For user tux:
rm /home/tux/.config/lxpanel/slitaz/panels/*

@ Drmanhatten,
Concerning panels, first time you want to modify one, modify also the other. Then you can do all the modifications you want on top or/and bottom panel(s), they won't disappear anymore.

@Drmanhatten
Open terminal post the output from these commands.
[c]uname -a[/c]
[c]lspci -nn[/c]
[c]ls /sys/class/net[/c]
[c]ifconfig -a[/c]
[c]cat /etc/network.conf[/c]

I am using a broadband connection from isp
it is DCHP
i don't seem to find the network adapter anywhere
the panel problem was resolved by the commands (thanks 
)
i will try the console commands given by @mojo
Offline
@mojo i have made a text file of all the outputs of the commands you mentioned
-i think the problem is that local loopback is enabled instead of eth0 (though i am not sure what the problem is)
-the file is saved in utf format using leafpad editor

I see you also have wireless,slitaz only supports one adapter at a time.
03:00.0 Network controller [0280]: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. RTL8188CE 802.11b/g/n WiFi Adapter [10ec:8176] (rev 01)
Start with the wired,all slitaz wireless drivers need firmware installed before they work.

thank you for the solution
i have a couple of more questions
-is there an inbuild package repository for slitaz like other distros have?
-the firmware i need for other controllers are to be downloaded from manufacture website or slitaz support website?
Slitaz is a great distro for understanding linux and operating systems and i am learning a lot with the installation!
Offline
Not sure what you mean by inbuild repo.
We use tazpkg to download/install software from the repo/mirror
Applications / Documentation / Tazpkg manual
Slitaz-4.0 doesn't include the driver for your wifi card.
I can compile the driver and package it for you,same with the firmware.
SliTaz is a never ending learning experience.
I discovered it when SliTaz-2.0 was released in 2009.
Offline
i will try to learn how to package divers myself as it will teach me
i will be grateful if you tell me how to do it or provide me a link for it?
for the time being i just need the ethernet connection...
as for package rep tazpkg was pretty much what i was looking for
