This is my third time to install gentoo on my computer, and the only problem i meet is the connectins problem to the network. So i asked my brother about the problem. And he told me to write the commando
Code:
lsmod

and i gave him the information that come, and he told me that tulip is wrong driver/module or some thing that i cant remember. He told med to write this
Code:
echo dmfe >> /etc/modules.autoload.d/kernel-2.6

and this worked before, but not now.

The network card is 3com etherlink

(Im new to Linux)
