Re: [gentoo-catalyst] DHCP

[Caleb Cushing]

yes I've read it. I've been running gentoo for 3 years. I fixed it so it was autoloading the module for the network card. initially I was missing that. and like I said it says probing but it fails fo find anything. do I need to use dhcpcd for a certain nic? like make sure it's starting net.eth0? on startup? or is there a more dynamic way for it to grab dhcp for whatever nic is connected?

Is it detecting your network card?

Have you read the Gentoo Handbook, specifically the portion on
"net-setup"?  The LiveCD environment doesn't always setup ethernet
automatically.  Sometimes, it simply fails.
