Hi guys.

I just recently discoverred Gentoo and can't wait to install it. However, i ran in to a hicup straight away. My 3com905C is not supported. Does this mean I can't install Gentoo. I downloaded 3c905.c and tried compiling it on a nother LInux box but the kernel versions are different so it didn't work on Gentoo.
Is there someplace I can download the module? Or do i need to get supported hardware?

Thanks.

I had this same problem. I ran the following:

Code:
modprobe eth0 -a


and it worked fine afterward.

I've also got the 3com 509c aka Tornado.
The right module for this card is called "3c59x" (dont ask me why :D )
so hammer at the keys:
Code:
modprobe 3c59x

and ur ready for pinging tha world :D
