ok managed to get gentoo installed and it boots !
( with the ubuntu image from dell. )

but now I've a problem, the network card isn't detected.

I've set the CONFIG_E100 - Intel(R) PRO/100+ support options in the kernel (2.6.23) but it does not work.

then I've tried to get the module build by hand with this
http://www.touslesdrivers.com/index.php?v_page=23&v_code=18327
but the make install fails with the following error:
Code:

(...)
Enterign directory '/usr/src/linux-2.6.23-gentoo'
CC [M] /usr/src/e1000-7.6.9/src/e1000_ethtool.o
/usr/src/e1000-7.6.9/src/e1000_ethtool.c:2115 error: unknow field 'get_perm_addr' specified in initializer
/usr/src/e1000-7.6.9/src/e1000_ethtool.c:2115 error: ethtool_op_get_perm_addr undeclared here (not in a function)
(...)

It's working right now, but ONLY i've build in a seperate network card and disabled the onboard network card...
All the other stuff is working without any problems.

I commented out the get_perm_addr code in e1000_ethtool.c for the e1000-7.6.9 driver and it compiles and works as expected (i.e., quite well) with kernel 2.6.23 and above. Kernel 2.6.23 inlined the get_perm_addr function, so it's no longer needed in the driver. Or something like that.

You can get the current driver supporting the built-in NIC directly from Intel here:
http://downloadcenter.intel.com/download.aspx?url=/9180/eng/e1000-7.6.12.tar.gz&DwnldId=9180&ProductID=1635&lang=eng

Linux 2.6.23 contains Version 7.3.20, which can't handle it.
It compiles and installs cleanly without patches (at least for me)

I'd like to thank you all. This post really helped me for my network card.

I personnaly used system rescue cd based on gentoo ( http://www.sysresccd.org/Page_Principale ).
The internal NIC worked with this live cd.

But with the kernel 2.6.23-gentoo-r3, it seems I got the same problem as you had too.

I got this driver from intel and it worked for me. The newest version is 7.6.15 as of saturday night.
