Hiya,

I'm another of these new to linux people and i've been playing with gentoo. i have install it all fine but when it boots i get:

bringing eth0 up...
SIOCSIFADDR: No such device
eth0: unknown interface: no such device
SIOCSIFBRDADDR: No such device
eth0: unknown interface: no such device
SIOCSIFNETMASK: No such device
Failed bringing up eth0

error: problem starting needed serviced
"netmount" was not started

i have read something about needing to compile the driver in to the kernel... i dont know if this is the problem or if its something else.... what do i need to do? PLEASE HELP im scared! lol
