Hi, I'm having trouble installing gentoo on my old laptop... It says it can't find the interface eth0. I believe it has to do with the fact I have a pcmcia card with usb ports on which a usb2eth adapter is plugged.
On another system I use on that laptop, it usually tries to recognize my net adapters first (doesn't find any), then recognizes pcmcia cards which enables support for the usb adapter, then in my rc.local I have to manually setup my ip address or tell to use dhcp. Hmmm, from inside the gentoo system, I found lsmod was empty (which could be normal as I wanted everything compiled in the kernel) and lspci was not found... I'm pretty confortable with everything exept these pcmcia cards... if anybody could give me a hand!
