This is my first time using Gentoo. How do I add the Kernel Module for my NIC to /etc/modules.autoload.d/kernel-2.6 ???
I used genkernel to build my kernel.
Thanks!! |

How to add the module is easy:
| Code: | | echo module_name >> /etc/modules.autoload.d/kernel-2.6 |
But your problem seems to be that you don't know the name of the module, right?
Please post the output of
then we might help a little better  .

hmmm, I dont have lspci on my system, because I used genkernel to build my kernel.
And I dont have access to the network to emerge because netmount keeps failing on me.
what else can I do? |

Alt-F2 to another virtual console and run lspci from your install environment.

You could chroot into your new system with the livecd, as you did for the first intallation, and
.
Or you can use the lspci command directly from the livecd.
EDIT: Not having lspci isn't because you used genkernel. lspci is part of the pciutils package. |

Here's the relevant line from lspci
| Code: | | 0000:02:08.0 Ethernet Controller: Intel Corporation 82562EZ 10/100 Ethernet Controller (rev 02) |

Intel ethernet controller is popular so I guess genkernel already compile it into your kernel.
Can u use the network card at all?
try
to see if there is details about your nic. If it doesnt show up anything then u might need to recompile your kernel without using genkernel.
gd luck mate! |

The module is e100 according to Intel's website. You can try:
If that works then be sure to add it to your /etc/modules.autoload.d/kernel_version file.

My problem is that my firewire port has taken eth0 and eth1 is assigned to my NIC. When I type ifconfig -a I see my NIC is assigned to eth1 |

| I am not really sure about this, but i heard eth numbers are given in order of appearance, so if you load your ethernet card before your firewire, it should be eth0 again. |
