Gentoo won't detect my network card  Does anyone have any ideas for this problem?
How do I install my network card or install eth0 whatever for Gentoo?
When the "ifconfig" command is done. The output only shows lo information not eth0 so hence Gentoo not detecting my network card.
When I booted from the live CD. I was able to connect to the net and download.... After installing & following instructions from Gentoo handbook, Gentoo does not detect my network card.
BTW I've set /etc/conf.d/net file to iface_eth0="dhcp" because I have a router which has dhcp server function on. I've also tried setting /etc/conf.d/net to iface_eth0="192.168. etc........ but it doesn't work.
When I try the setting iface_eth0="192.168.0.3 etc.... I get this output:
* Bringing eth0 up (192.168.0.2)...
SI0CSIFBRDADDR: No such devic
eth0: unknown interface: No such device
SI0CSIFBRDADDR: No such device
eth0: unknown interface: No such device
SI0CSIFNETMASK: No such device [!!]
BTW I have done emerge dhcpcd before try using dhcp with iface_eth0="dhcp", and emerge unemerge dhcpcd for /etc/conf.d/net to iface_eth0="192.168.0.3 etc.......
Reminder: How do I install my network card or install eth0 whatever for Gentoo?
When I execute "/etc/init.d/net.eth0 start", the output with dhcp
"* Bringing eth0 up via DHCP... [!!]"
Please help me. I don't want to get rid of Gentoo after compiling the kernel and configuring it. :/

| Your eth0 startup script is still trying to bring it up via DHCP, so you probably forgot to comment and uncomment a couple of things in /etc/conf.d/net. Make sure that only one line in that file doesn't have a # in front of it. |

| Post your /etc/conf.d/net please. Not much help can be given without it. |

when u boot from livecd then lsmod to see wht modules are loaded......one of them would be your NIC one.....see if u included that one in your kernel.

Doh! I forgot to select the network module when I'd configured the kernel.
I've already installed the kernel and LILO. How do I reconfigure the kernel? |
