I think eth0 is your FireWire port (IEEE 1394). |

You did the right thing already (taking eth0 down). Now you can |
| 29 |
install Gentoo and unless you configure support for Ethernet over |
| 30 |
FireWire (or something similar) in your kernel you shouldn't have any |
| 31 |
problem. |

That was my experience anyway (with a different Asus board, but the |
| 34 |
same behavior). |
