Hi, yeah...
I'm using cable internet, set up for dhcp.
I just installed kernel 2.6.3-gentoo-r1. I did remember to do:
cp /etc/resolv.conf /mnt/gentoo/resolv.conf
nano -w /etc/conf.d/net
*******************
iface-eth0="dhcp"
nano -w /etc/hosts
***************
127.0.0.1 localhost
I am planning on looking over those files to see if I missed anything, but I'm hoping someone might be able to tell me I forgot something in a different file?
Anyways, I'll post back if I solve it. _________________ The day that any company produces consistent quality coded programs is the day I switch to proprietary software. Until then, I'd like to at least see how they're butchering my system. |

did you include support for your network card while making menuconfig? _________________ Trust your technolust. |

My network card was automatically detected by the CD.
When I read the install notes, it suggested that I only
had to copy the resolv.conf from the cd over to the /etc folder.
I did that. I'm about to go over the install notes again.
But no, I didn't explicitly define my network card. _________________ The day that any company produces consistent quality coded programs is the day I switch to proprietary software. Until then, I'd like to at least see how they're butchering my system. |

Is there an alias in /etc/modules.d/aliases matching the module for the ethernet interface?
Like so:
alias eth0 tulip
