 |
|
| Whenever I boot up Gentoo I have to 'modprobe sis900' and then 'dhcpcd eth0' in order for my internet to work. How do I get it to do this automatically? |

For the sis900, put the following in /etc/modules.autoload:
To get dhcp working at boot, you could always put the following into your /etc/conf.d/local.start:
That way both will be brought up during boot. |

That's not the "gentoo way". Instead you edit /etc/conf.d/net according to your needs and add the rc-script via rc-update. E.g.: rc-update add net.eth0 default
Please read the RC-Script Guide before doing so. And please read the other docs too.
