NE2000 NIC not working after 1st reboot

[tfandango]

Hello.

I recently installed Gentoo 1.4rc1. Everything workied like a charm throughout the install. I compiled NE2000 support into the kernel and configured networking exactly as it said in the docs (except for the module part as I went ahead and compiled it into the kernel).

After the 1st reboot, nothing. eth0 failed.

I remember when I installed, I had to tell the system to use the ne driver using modprobe...

modprobe ne io=0x320 irq=4

Now, I had to specifically mention the io and the irq in order for this to work. It's an old card. I did nothing to set this up in any configuration files though, and that is why I believe it doesn't work. Problem is, where do I specify this type of thing???

Thanks!

I think the better way is to compile the module as module. Then you can put in your /etc/modules.autoload this line:

ne io=0x320 irq=4
