Hi,


I just found this workstation and wanted to install Gentoo onto it.
Anybody has any idea which network module to probe for ?


Thanks,


Oliver

This series should also have some onboard-network, the tulip usually is plugged into one of the PCI slots... The onboard-thingie is listed as "LASI ethernet" in the kernel configuration, but I doubt the gentoo livecd has support for that. It's also just a lame 10 MBit, so the tulip is better in any case.
A nice listing of the ingridients of this machine can be found here btw:

B132L+ and B180L+ have Tulip built-in instead of the lasi_82596. As for 10Mbps vs. 100Mbps - 10Mbps is plenty fast enough if your internet connect is e.g. 512Kbps and you don't need to shuffle big lumps of data around on your internal network :lol:

Oh, and the gentoo live cd supports lasi_82596 out of the box :) That I can promise you - a B132L and a C180 bear witness to the fact, both of them stage1 installs.
