+First you need to check if your network card is discovered properly by the |
| 64 |
+kernel. Run <c>ifconfig -a</c> and look for eth0 or wlan0 (in case of |
| 65 |
+certain wireless network cards). You might need to load specific kernel modules |
| 66 |
+for the kernel to properly detect the network card. If that is the case, make |
| 67 |
+sure that these kernel modules are listed in |
| 68 |
+<path>/etc/modules.autoload.d/kernel-2.6</path> (or <path>kernel-2.4</path> if |
| 69 |
+you are still using a 2.4 kernel). |
| 70 |
+</p> |
| 71 |
+ |
| 72 |
+<p> |
| 73 |
+If you have forgotten to include support for your network card in your kernel, |
| 74 |
+you will need to reconfigure your kernel. |
| 75 |
+</p> |
| 76 |
+ |
| 77 |
+<p> |
| 78 |
+If your network card is found by your kernel, but you have set your networking |
| 79 |
+configuration to use DHCP, you might have forgotten to |
| 80 |
+<c>emerge dhcpcd</c>. You will need to reboot with your installation CD to |
| 81 |
+install <c>dhcpcd</c>. |
