By the way - cardctl shows this is a Realtek Rtl8139 card.. and when I check realtek's site for a driver they list it.. and in the readme it mentions an 8139too driver.
I noticed there's a module for this on the Gentoo cd.. but when I try and do a "modprobe 8139too" it tells me there's no such device. Should I just do a stage3 install and forget it? Any ideas?
