address just in case dhcp was messed up, and it still gives me that |

"Function not implemented" error message. |

42 |
modules for the network card etc to no avail. how is it that it can |
43 |
work with ubuntu and suse, but i cant get the darned thing to work in |
44 |
gentoo, the OS i really want on my laptop ;-) |
