Hi Henti, |
2 |
You should brake this circle causing the chicken egg problem ;-)). |
3 |
The solution is to have a machine with internet connection. |
4 |
Never mind what OS. Use this machine to download the modem module source. |
5 |
Then copy the source on the gentoo machine in the $DISTDIR directory. |
6 |
Now you will be able to emerge and configure the modem module. |
