Re: [gentoo-user] Installation Freeze

Check out the /lib/modules/version (version is the kernel version such as 2.4.20...) directory and see if you can find any modules that look like they are for your card and then do them manually. Maybe they aren't named what you called them in the modprobe command.

use that as the means of installing kernel

then like to use modprobe.  Thanks alot.

help!

How did you try to load the module using

modprobe?

What's the module name, by the way?
