Hey don't emerge X again if you already have.. this will not solve your
problem. Basically the Live CD automagically detects your network card
and inserts the proper module. The live CD has all NIC's compiled as
modules in the kernel.. you don't need to do this for your kernel as you
only need to find out what NIC you have and compile this into your kernel.
Then everything will work. To figure this out as root run a:
cat /proc/pci
and you will see a bunch of info on your computer:
</SNIP>
Ethernet controller: Intel Corp. 82801CAM (ICH3) PRO/100 VE (LOM)
Ethernet Controller (rev 65).
IRQ 11.
Master Capable. Latency=66. Min Gnt=8.Max Lat=56.
Non-prefetchable 32 bit memory at 0xc0200000 [0xc0200fff].
I/O at 0x8000 [0x803f].
</SNIP>
this is a snipped output of cat /proc/pci indicating that I have an intel
ethernet card... a quick google search for this guy will tell you that the
proper module is eepro100 under linux (actually I use the intel e100
driver but you get the point). Now rebuild your kernel with this guy
build in or as a module if you prefer and you will be good to go.
Cheers,
Jason
