Hello,
I am having a problem with my internet. I've looked around this forum, and I didn't see any good solutions. When I boot up Gentoo, it says, "eth0 does not exist". I emerged coldplug, but that didn't work. I was very confused on which to include on the kernel config. Plus I tried editing my config file, but alas, no luck. Could someone please help?

Thanks in advance,
Dalton

P.S. I have an NVIDIA NForce2 ethernet controller.

I would do an lspci and find you ethernet controller, as I don't quite believe nforce2 is it.

It mentions "NVIDIA Corperation nForce Ethernet Controller (rev a1)".

Hei there!

follow the gentoo guid for the kernel, http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/handbook/handbook-x86.xml?part=1&chap=7

Then, I think I might found your card in kernel 2..6.12-r6 (I am not sure, but you can try newer):
