Gentoo is not responding well to my ethernet card. I found somewhere that this card is compatible with ne2000/ne1000, so i added that support in my kernel, but i still get zero internet.

I also tried the 2004.1 LiveCD and ran
Code:
modprobe ne
but all i got was a bunch of failed errors.

Anybody know the problem?

Don't know the problem but have you seen this page http://www.linuxdevices.com/cgi-bin/board/UltraBoard.pl?Action=PrintableTopic&Post=58&Board=100&Idle=0&Sort=0&Order=Descend&Page=7&Session=? Other than that I would advise to spend a little money and buy a modern network card.

I'm currently downloading the 2004.0 universal cd. Hopefully, it will auto detect and then i can copy my configuration to my hard disk.

There is some problem with the 2004.1 installer, that it wont detect network cards. Its allready been reported...

Although you should be able to do a modprobe...
Are you sure, that is the right module you are trying to load ? :)

Curious_bob, I apologize for my earlier advice, didn't know about or expect this problem... trying another LiveCD is probably a good idea.
