I think the "Final network configuration" can benefit from adding a |
| 2 |
comment to indicate that 3c59x is a 3Com network module. It was less |
| 3 |
than obvious to me, since I never owned one. The 3c59x looked like a |
| 4 |
magic number, needed by Gentoo. Only after seeing an error message |
| 5 |
during boot sequence I realized my mistake. Documentatin should caution |
| 6 |
people to include modules they compiled. A good way of doing this would |
| 7 |
be to include some comments in the code. I have RealTek 8139 Ethernet |
| 8 |
card and for such you need to include 8139too module. Maybe something |
| 9 |
like this: |
| 10 |
|
| 11 |
Code listing 16.5: /etc/modules.autoload: |
| 12 |
# If you compiled 3Com Ethernet card as a module uncomment the following |
| 13 |
# 3c59x |
| 14 |
# If you compiled RealTek 8139 Ethernet card as a module uncomment the |
| 15 |
following |
| 16 |
# 8139too |
| 17 |
|
| 18 |
# Etc., for other cards ... |
