can't get it to work, when I do a ifconfig it appears to be on and running but after having configured the dns and the net-setup, I cant still connect to internet.

Would love to help, but we need more info!!
Explain your Internet setup - dialup, cable or dsl modem? Dynamic IP or static? Do you have a router / NAT / firewall you are going through?
It sounds as though you have a high speed connection if you are setting up a pcmcia NIC. If your ISP or router supports DHCP all you should need to do is:
where eth0 is the pcmcia NIC interface reported from ifconfig
If that doesn't do it - explain your hardware setup (what brand and model of pcmcia NIC, laptop), internet setup, and show us your current config. The output from the following commands is often useful:
| Code: | ifconfig -a
netstat -rn
cat /etc/resolv.conf
grep hosts /etc/nsswitch.conf
lsmod |
Thanks,

First of all, thanks a lot  I connect to internet through my laptop computer. It's has a 256k dsl connection with USB modem with dynamic ip and no firewall. This comp runs windows XP. In the comp where I'm setting up gentoo I've got a pcmcia card kti ipf-32. I configure the eth0 with net-setup and then ifconfig -a show that it's ON and RUNNING. ohh well, as soon as I get home I'll post the outputs. I've already setted up the DNS in resolv.conf and don't have a switch. At the start the card's LED's are off and when I do modprobe pcmcia_core, modprobe i83265, modprobe ds and cardgmr (not sure if the last one is spelled correctly, I'm at the university now ) the LED lights up and stays on.
Edit: At home now.
I do net-setup and the output is:
| Code: |
SIOCSIFADDR: No such device
eth0: unknown interface: No such device
SIOCSIFBRDADDR: No such device
eth0: unknown interface: No such device
SIOCSIFNETMASK: No such device
SIOCADDRT: No such device Type "iconfig" to make sure the interface was configured correctly.

When I do netstat -rn I get
