Description Eric Ireland 2008-05-08 15:02:02 UTC

The pcnet32 driver is not on the cd, nor are the gentoo-sources installed to make it easy to recomplie to get the driver support.  This driver is critical for vmware.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Download liveCD
2.Start in vmware
3.Let the nicless fun begin.
4. modprobe pcnet32 without effect.

Actual Results:  
No NIC!

Expected Results:  
NIC++
