I have the basic system installed, and am nearing the reboot. I'm trying to find out what I need to have in modules.autoload.d ... Anything compiled as a module M when you configured your kernel. Run the find command as the handbook suggests to find out what's compiled as a module. Only add those modules you want/need into your module.autoload.d/ You can always adjust the contents according to your needs and preferences at a later stage. It is usually better to manually run modprobe first and keep an eye on dmesg to ensure that each module loads without problems. Don't forget to run # modules-update before you reboot. -- Regards, Mick -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
[gentoo-user] network driver
With the laptop base build running, I took my old file server (P3 running old m$) and decided to convert this to a test server for web dev. I just went with a stage 3 and genkernel (never tried this before), and the basics went fine. I'm up to chap 7.e (looking for .ko), and I need to make sure that the nic comes up on reboot. The card is a Linksys NC100 (NetworkEverywhere) card. From what I've read googling and such - a) I couldn't find a driver, except for win (network-drivers.com) b) I think the windows wrapper is tulip, but am not sure One of the google threads I found talked about someone using 'tulip', and another part of that thread mentioned ndiswrappers. I would like to think that coldplug and the genkernel way of compiling would just 'see' the nic card and come up, but I've been wrong before about that. Any input is appreciated. (I also have an ATI video card in here [Radeon RT100 QY (Radeon 7000 VE), so if there's some similar homework I need to do on this one, please share) John D -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

RE: [gentoo-user] network driver
I didn't want to just 'try it', since, as I said, I've been wrong before. I'm not really sure how to install this setup, since my laptop has all new hardware in it, and the kernel has modules for the laptop. All of the information I find in googling is about Linksys wireless cards. This box is older (P3 Desktop). is tulip what I want? or is ndiswrapper? are they the same? This is the spot where I'm hung up... btw - lsmod currently shows - Module SizeUsed By tulip 42336 0 thanks for the reply. I appreciate it! John D -Original Message- From: A.
