I found in the end all I needed to do was give the following commands (I should confess at this point that the machine - which is a ThinkPad T20 I just acquired - is running slax , probably because it only has a 6GB disk) (1) sudo ifconfig eth0 up (2) sudo ifconfig eth0 192.168.3.11 (the address of my home WiFi LAN is 192.168.3.0). After (1) eth0 was listed by ifconfig , but had an ipv6 address.
