My network hardware worked fine off the LiveCD boot but didn't work at all on my installation. Being a newbie, I did not know that "lsmod" would have let me find out which module the LiveCD kernel was using. I knew there had to be a command to find out what modules were loaded... I just didn't know what it was! Mentioning "lsmod" in the Installation Guide would help newbies like me enormously. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce:
do you mean the hardware configuration in the gentoo-x86-install or..? I didn't find the so call "hardware setup documentation" it's better if you provide the exact url to ease the process
I've added this hint to the gentoo handbook, part "Installing Gentoo".
