i'm trying a slackware version of linux (2.6.x kernal) and everytime i bring up mozilla firefox i get the error page and at the bottom right where the load bar is, it says Tor disabled. i'm new to linux and clueless as to what to do so any suggestions would help.

Tor is a proxy service?
Type ifconfig in a console and tell us what it says

Do you have an obscure NIC or are using wireless? Sounds like your card isnt detected?

Well it could be because ifconfig on my box doesn't return all my network interfaces...
