[Solved](Atheros killer E220x) Nightmare installing on MSI

Hi,

I just own an MSI GP70 2PE-216XFR Leopard computer but I can't install Gentoo on it.
Reason behind is, its Ethernet card is a Qualcomm Atheros Killer E220x which is not recognized by install-x86-minimal-20141209.iso ... consequently, no network.

Any tip to activate the network ?

Thanks

Laurent

I'm currently (slowly) download latest Gentoo liveCD, hopping this card or the Intel Wireless 3160 is supported ...

SytemRescueCD is smaller download and has much better odds with your wired card (you didn't let us know whether you have a Linux kernel supported NIC), it also has much better wireless support. But choice is yours ...
