 |
|
I finally managed to get thtrough the installation procedure and even got Grub to work... now there is the next problem:
Booting form the 1.4 cd Gentoo detects my networkcard and uses it. But it seems that I have not compiled the right driver for it into the kernel.
The card that I am using is the onboard Lan of my MSI 845E Max2 motherboard. The MSI-website specifies it as a Intel 8256 chip, I think...
They even got a driver there but I don´t know how to use this one, or which driver I have to put into the kernel.
Or is it that I messed up during the final steps (i.e. Network Configuration)?
Thanks in advance...

You can probably find the module/driver it uses in google.com/linux
if the gentoo install disc detects your driver, You can actually boot into that disc, and let it do the detection. then run a "lsmod"
it should show the modules loaded, one of those should be your NIC driver

in you kernel you can use:
| Code: | | EtherExpressPro/100 support (eepro100, original Becker driver) |
or
| Code: | | EtherExpressPro/100 support (e100, Alternate Intel driver) |
to activate them, just go into 'Network device support \ Ethernet (10 or 100Mbit)' and select one of them.
if you select the 'EtherExpressPro/100 support (eepro100, original Becker driver)' then load it with 'modprobe eepro100' and the other one with 'modprobe e100'.
or just add the right module to '/etc/modules.autoload'.
cheers
