I'm stuck in trying to install Gentoo on my new EeePC 1005HA . |
| 2 |
There seems to be no easily accessible driver for the Ethernet controller, |
| 3 |
which is 'Atheros AR8132' (shown via 'lspci'). |
| 4 |
|
| 5 |
I'm using 'install-x86-minimal-20091020.iso' on a USB stick; |
| 6 |
it has 2 drivers atl1e/atl1e.ko atlx/atl1.ko |
| 7 |
in /lib/modules/2.6.30-gentoo-r7/kernel/drivers/net/ , |
| 8 |
but neither allows me to connect to my ISP, timing out every time. |
| 9 |
The problem is not the modem, as M$ XP can connect successfully. |
| 10 |
|
| 11 |
I've searched for drivers via Google & the Gentoo forum, |
| 12 |
but I can't compile the one I found, as the Gentoo installer lacks 'make' |
| 13 |
& the module has to be compiled for the specific kernel there. |
| 14 |
Also, the pkg -- AR81Family-linux-v1.0.0.10.tar.gz , |
| 15 |
which is almost the same as l1c-linux-v1.0.0.11-test.tar.gz -- |
| 16 |
dates from January 2009 , rather a long time ago in computing terms. |
| 17 |
|
| 18 |
I also have SystemRescue on a USB, but it doesn't do ADSL. |
| 19 |
|
| 20 |
I don't expect to be using the Internet with the netbook, |
| 21 |
so it's needed only for installing Gentoo. |
| 22 |
Has anyone managed to do a networkless install ? |
| 23 |
|
| 24 |
Advice welcome. |
