Never done that (using generic config), i always config my own kernel and genkernel options (when using it ;) Running "genkernel --menuconfig --install --udev --bootsplash all", but you may choose less options, just leave '--menuconfig --install all' for the config,compile,install part. Or just manually config/build your kernel (in the docs). The initial config file is taken from /usr/share/genkernel/x86/kernel-config-2.6 and the used/resulting (at the end) config in /etc/kernels/ dir. Think that netcard config is somewhere under Networking options,... - don't be afraid, to get more out of your box you'll have to do some changes yourself, take your time read the help check the options etc. HTH. Rumen Thank you for your advice. So far I've decided to compile the kernel manually and have tried many of those options but in vain. >>BTW, following is the output of “dmesg|grep e100”: >> >>Intel(r) PRO/100 Network Driver 3.3.6-k2-NAPI >> >>Copyright (c) 1999-2004 Intel corporation Does information from these lines not imply the type of my net-card? What else should I do then? Thank you. -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
