Ok, I finally got Gentoo to install, but ya the network card doesnt work. Ive already read over the previous post about getting it to work. My question is in the install guide, it says I need to add the names of the modules ( in this case, my SiS900 Ethernet builtin card) to the file. How do I add this specific card? What do I add to the file? Thnx.

make sure you have CONFIG_SIS900=M or CONFIG_SIS900=y then compile
if you compiled moulde modprobe sis900 and add sis900 to your modules.autoload

cd /usr/src/linux

make menuconfig

Network Devices:
<M> SiS 900/7016 PCI Fast Ethernet Adapter support
then exit and save kernel configuration

make dep && make bzImage modules modules_install

modprob sis900
if you do not see any errors:
echo "sis900" >> /etc/modules.autoload
