The port maybe active from the standpoint that the card knows the link |
| 26 |
is there. But that means really nothing. It's obvious that the NIC |
| 27 |
driver is not loaded or is the wrong one for that card. DHCP works a |
| 28 |
little lower down the OSI model, so this would account for the DHCP |
| 29 |
server seeing it. I think you can load portage from the FULL CD, but |
| 30 |
since I've always done a stage1, I don't know for sure. However, that |
| 31 |
does not fix your problem. What kernel are you using and what does |
| 32 |
lsmod show? |
