1 Hey everybody!
2
3 I just got an HP Pavillion dv5000 with the Turion 64 chip, I used
4 the gentoo x86-64 discs and the install went well, the system boots
5 fine. But gentoo doesnt recognize my built-in wifi (by Broadcom I
6 think, but I can't seem to find out which chipset it uses) and it
7 also doesnt recognize my ethernet card (I think a Realtek 8139
8 810x ), I have tried 'modprobe 8139cp' but ifconfig shows only lo. I
9 haven't messed w/ linux in a while, can somebody please point me in
10 the right direction? I have tried googling but I am evidently
11 missing something.

13 Thanks in advance!
