that's no problem about your english. have you checked the forums with different languages (just might be easier for you to communicate). but, i'll gladly try and help. when you were booted from the liveCD did you do an
to see what modules the liveCD had loaded for you network card? also did you load the network driver a module or did you compile it into the kernel?

well to add the module to your kernel you need to (i'm assuming your using gentoo-sources).
| Code: | cd /usr/src/linux
cp .config myconfig <-- this copies your current kernel configuration
make clean
make mrproper
cp myconfig .config <-- this puts the configuration back
make menuconfig |
once you're in the menuconfig program go to
| Quote: | Network device support --->
Ethernet (10 or 100Mbit) --->
## make sure that EISA, VLB, PCI and on board controllers is
## checked, go down to this
<M> Realtek RTL-8139 PCI Fast Ethernet Adapter support
## press 'M' for it to be compiled as a module
|
now to compile the kernel
| Code: | make dep
make clean
make bzImage
make modules
make modules_install
mount /boot
cp /usr/src/linux/arch/i386/boot/bzImage /boot/bzImage
## if you use lilo update the MBR with
/sbin/lilo
umount /boot
|
don't forget to add 8139too to the /etc/modules.autoload file for the kernel to autoload it. hope this helps

well then theres something wrong with the module loading. Have you got the correct module loaded in lsmod and what does dmesg and lspci say about it?

make sure you're root when running lspci and emerge pciutils
just paste the dmesg output here after you try to modprobe the network drivers

Nice! now it works with modprobe 8139too
I just put it in the /etc/modules.autoload to make it boot everytime I start right ? |

yeah don't do 8139too.c, its not looking for a source file it needs the object file so it would end with a '.o', but /etc/modules.autoload doesn't require the extension so 8139too will work just fine. glad your up and running now.
