Description Henrique Rodrigues 2008-05-21 21:48:59 UTC

After booting the 2008.0_beta2 LiveCD, I didn't have network access. After searching in the forums, I came across a post that stated that there weren't any networking modules on the CD and I confirm it. I quote:

  After booting the 2008.0_beta2 LiveCD and realizing my ethernet card
  wasn't up I took a peek in

  /lib/modules/<kernel name>/kernel/drivers/

  to find out there was no 'net' folder. Is this a problem with the
  installation media or am I missing something?

Without modules, we can't have network access on our shiny Gentoo boxes, access the online manual, etc..

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. boot the 2008.0_beta2 LiveCD
2. ls /lib/modules/<kernel name>/kernel/drivers/


Actual Results:  
There's no "net" folder

Expected Results:  
There should be a "net" folder
