Hi!
I guess there is a problem with it because I have 2 LAN cards and one of them is broken, sadly, the Onboard one.
Weird is that on MinimalCD it works fine and knows that I'm using the on in the PCI slot.
So, I disabled the OnBoard LAN in the BIOS.
There could be a problem in the kernel too because I used genkernel and when I compiled the kernel I still had onboard lan enabled.
This is getting really annoying :/

Can you provide us some more information, please?
Run these commands as root for example.
- ifconfig
- lspci | grep Ethernet
- cat /var/lib/boot.msg | grep eth

Just recompiled the kernel, but still nothing 
lspci didn't work, not found, missing some package.
ifconfig gave only "lo" (because onboard is disabled)
the last one gave an error about file not existing.
So... how can I tell him to use the PCI card?

Boot with MinimalCD, do | Code: | lspci
lshw -c network
hwinfo --netcard |
I hope the minimalCd has lshw with it, otherwise try hwinfo. Both of them will show the network card driver name.
If you use genkernel, it should (not 100% sure) compile everything as module. Try | Code: | | modprobe <driver name> |
If driver does not exist, you will have to configure the kernel by hand and compile again. |
