LiveCD can't find my onboard netcard (Realtek RTL 8111B)

I want to install gentoo using network. But LiveCD can't identify my netcard: RTL 8111B. I used "modprobe 8139too", but it still can't find eth0. Which module should I use?
Please help me.

The only other RealTek driver I see is the '8139cp'. Try modprobing that.
There also might be some relevent info here: http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/Ethernet-HOWTO-4.html#ss4.36 (kind of old though)

I have tried to use '8139cp', but it's also useless.

Is it a gigabit nic? The only thing I can really find is this-- a PCI-E network card.
You might try the 'r8169' kernel module, if it exists on your livecd.
