Re: [gentoo-dev] questions/issues after first boot

[Brian Jones]

I did all of that! :(

dmesg shows the NIC normally at the very end of the
log.

ifconfig says 'no such device'.

I compiled a new kernel with a bunch of network
drivers as modules, so I'm gonna go and test a bunch
of 'em eventually.  However, the winbond-840 module,
which should've worked, didn't.  So far, no luck.  I
won't be able to work more on this till tonight when I
get home.  Wish me luck.
