According to your result of the ifconfig -a, your device dirver should be OK. First, the eth0 interface, that is your wired connection, has already been configured. If it's done automaticly, it should be worked. If it doesn't work, you should check your network setting and if the cable is connected in right way. Second, the wlan0, the wirelesss adpater, maybe you need a wireless network management application. you can just check the basic configurations by the command iwconfig and iwlist first, if it's OK, and your wireless has encryption, you should configrue the wpa_supplicant correctly or using the NetworkManager to manage your wirless connection. > On 2/3/14, Amankwah <amankw...@gmail.com> wrote: > > On Mon, Feb 03, 2014 at 02:36:29PM +0200, Stephen Reynolds wrote: > >> Hi all > >> > >> > >> > >> I am doing a new Gentoo installation and I cannot get my network cards to > >> work. > >> I have two cards > >> > >> > >> > >> 1)?eth0 =??Realtek RLTl8111e > >> > >> 2)?wlan0 = RaLink RT2561/RT61 > >> > >> > >> > >> Gen Kernel has support for both. > >> > >> > >> > >> Please advise?me as to what steps I can take to fix this? > >> > > > > You should comfirm that the drivers of the adapters are compiled and > > loaded correctly.
