hi..
I installed gentoo from stage 3, kernel 2.6.11 r 9 and it has via rhine module compiled.
but when starting I see this:
"*Using /etc/modules.autoload.d/kernell-2.6 as config:
* Loading modules via-rhine...
* Failed to load via-rhine"

more after :

"*Bringing eth0 up (192.168.0.1)..
SIOCSIFADDR: No such device
eth0: unknow interface: no such device"

"ifconfig" shows only loopback info and with "ifconfig eth0 up" I got the same error: eth0: unknow interface: no such device

modprobe via-thine shows this msg: FATAL: Error inserting via_rhine
(/lib/modules/2.6.11-gentoo-r3/kernel/drivers/net/via-rhine.ko): Unknown symbol in module, or unknown parameter (see dmesg)

when I type dmesg this shows this errors:
via_rhine: Unkown symbol mii_ethtool_sset
via_rhine: Unknown symbol mii_link_ok
via_rhine: Unknown symbol mii_check_media
via_rhine: Unknown symbol mii_check_media
via_rhine: Unknown symbol mii_nway_restart
via_rhine: Unknown symbol generic_mii_ioctl
via_rhine: Unknown symbol mii_ethtool_gset


any idea about how to fix it?

cannot be different.. is the modules is not loaded there can't be any device..

Have you tried to compile via-rhine in the kernel (not as a module)? Tried a different kernel version? Also there might be something broken while compiling the kernel, you could try a
Code:

make clean && make && make modules_install

first..
