1 yes I've read it. I've been running gentoo for 3 years. I fixed it so it was
2 autoloading the module for the network card. initially I was missing that.
3 and like I said it says probing but it fails fo find anything. do I need to
4 use dhcpcd for a certain nic? like make sure it's starting net.eth0? on
5 startup? or is there a more dynamic way for it to grab dhcp for whatever nic
6 is connected?
