I know there are a miriad of threads about this problem, I've looked through them and not found anything to help me.
During the install, I couldn't get my card working until I typed
after that my card was recognized and it worked like a dream. I just reboot and logged into my installation for the first time, and got the error

Failed to bring eth0 up
Error: Problem starting needed services.
"netmount" was not started

I'm a total Gentoo noob, so I tried typing in modprobe 8139too again, but it couldn't find it. ifconfig isn't even a recognized command and neither is net-setup. Don't really know where to go from here.

A few odd things here...
As for the network problems, it just sounds like you forgot to compile support for your network driver into the kernel. cd back into /usr/src/linux and make menuconfig, and under (device drivers first if you are using 2.6) network devices look for 8139too (if you go to the help function, it tells you the module name in case you aren't sure).
Net-setup is probably a script only found on livecds, however ifconfig is most definitely installed by default. You sure it didn't work? Were you root when you tried it? |

Ok, I just wasn't logged on as root. Ifconfig works now.
I'm running the 2.4.25-gentoo-r6 kernel. I couldn't find 8139too in the menuconfig program, so I recompiled my kernal with tulip support as I've read in some cases NIC cards work with both 8139too and tulip. Still no go...
Alrighty, I found 8139too in menuconfig, recompiled, added it to modules.autoload.d and reboot. It's working great now  I have a lot to learn |
