Hi,
Just started the installation (Rc2). According to the installation manual, I should verify that Gentoo has found my NIC. So I run "net-setup eth0". Choose "dhcp". Then "ifconfig"...just IO showing up here...so I guess Gentoo didnt catch my nic? Oh well, I havent got a clue what to call my NIC in "modprobe <mynic-name>"...
So I run "ls" in the "net" dir to see which modules are present. Nut none looks like my MIC 
What to do now? Funny that a moderne OS didnt detect my NIC, its probably one of the most used Nics I guess...
Its a Intel Pro 10/100 pci card...
Please specify...how can I get past this trivial setup? Please be gentle  Im a complete newbie...
Regards,
Supermule |

Do ifconfig
If eth0 shows up, then that's good news, if it doesn't.... Do ifconfig up eth0, if that works... GREAT, if it doesn't... well...

Turns out that "eepro100.0" is my NIC module...
Did "modprobe eepro100" and then ifconfig. Nice nice nice IP adress now
