Belkin Ethernet PCMCIA card on Gentoo Stage 1 Install

[Urzumph]

Long story short it's broken.

I have located the modules & have insmod'd pcmcia core, i82365 and ds (not that I know what they do, but from what I can tell they are important (I am new to laptops, but not so new to linux))

using cardmgr I get the lights on the dongle to light up (and it even beeps at me!) but when I ifconfig there is no eth0.
I have also tried insmod ing pcnet_cs but unfortunately I get un-resolved symbols error.

Anyone know why this is?
Even better, anyone know how to fix it?

Specs :
~ 500Mhz Celeron
(Yes, I know it will take a week to compile, that's why I am going camping next week)
Gateway Solo 1150
If you need the exact model of the PCMCIA card (I nkow it's a belkin tho) I should be able to get that (gotta boot windows ME for that )

the pcnet unresolved symbols go away when I insmod 8390 in the net directory, but there's still no eth0

Have the three modules you loaded actually loaded (use lsmod)? And if so, did you get two high beeps when you inserted the card? The pcnet_cs is a 'generic' driver for NE2000 compatible network cards, and should work for many different models, but not all. If it's the wrong one for your model, then you will need to find out the correct driver.
As to the unresolved symbols, did you use the kernel pcmcia drivers or emerge the drivers. If you stick to the kernel drivers, then you should have less problems.

OK, firstly I get a single, low tone beep when I insert the Card.
Yes, lsmod shows all the modules as in the kernel.
/etc/pcmcia/network simply echos it's usage no matter what parameters I give it (even with the device as lo)

The modules I am using are the ones which come with the minimal instal disk - I have no network to emerge anything.

Ok, I just told it to boot the 2.6.1 kernel (smp-nofb) and it detected the card right off the bat
