It says (I am booted into OSX now because I cannot get mail from Gentoo, so this might be a little off): ifconfig: eth0: device not found or something like that. The same goes for eth1. Is there a guide somewhere that I could read about configuring ethernet and airport under gentoo? Mac OS X isn't Linux, it's BSD.  Thus, there are a few changes as far as networking is concerned.  eth* becomes en* and sit* becomes stf* (IPv6-over-IPv4);  those are the only ones I can come up with off the top of my head.  So under OS X, you'll need to use "ifconfig en0" to view your first network device.  Or just use "ifconfig -a" to view all of your interfaces. -- Colin
