[gentoo-user] FORWARD eth0 trouble

[Norman Bauer]

Hello All,=20 This is the first time I have installed Gentoo so I am not that sure = about how thisngs work with it. All in all the install was a success = from a Stage 1 tarball. The only problem I have encountered is eth0 is = not recognized.=20 I have a 3c59x builtin to the mobo. I compiled the kernel with that = specific driver built into it, and now it seems to not want to recognize = it.  So now I am rebuilding the kernel with all 3Com drivers built in, = just in case I am wrong about the type of NIC.=20 Could there be some other problem that would cause the driver to fail = that I am overlooking? I want to give it a static IP but if I have to I'll go DHCP untill I can = get it working properly. ThaX, Norm Easton, Maryland, USA "A bad day fishing is better than a good day at work"
