Description Jørgen Øksenholt 2002-11-17 14:30:37 UTC

Gentoo finds the card, but when i try to get an ip from my dhcp, it doesnt 
work. i also tried to write an ip manually, but it didnt work either. 

The NIC is a CNET PRO200 PCI Fast Ethernet Adapter.

What version of the install cd ?

Comment 4 Jørgen Øksenholt 2002-11-18 15:24:28 UTC

1.4_rc1-r2 has ethernet support built in to the kernel, not as modules. Try 
http:/www.gentoo.org/dyn/experimental/livecd/ (the "20021221" or later version) 
and see how it works for you. Post results (good/bad) here.

Moving these so we can remove the "Install CD" component from "Gentoo Linux".

I apologize to everyone for this spam, but according to the bugzilla developers,
this is the only reasonable way to do this.
