Hi I am installing Gentoo. with the kernel-sources I got 2.6.17-r8 when I load the licecd it loads sis900 for my network card. But when I go in make menuconfig it is not there. What am I missing here? I do not have an internet connection and when I try to start network I get eth0 is not found. Any other ideas here?

Did you try searching in menuconfig? Use the '/' key to search. Unfortunately not at home so can't check to see if I can find it for ya

Do you mean like cat sis900 >> /etc/src/linux/menuconfig or something like that?

No I mean while you are configuring your kernel with menuconfig use the search feature to try and find a module for your sis900 by say searching for sis900 or sis, etc. I am pretty sure my old machine has a sis900 and last I checked it was in the sources, its a 10/100 internal nic right?
