Description Jon Sutherland 2004-02-27 15:13:21 UTC 
The livecd did not automatically detect my network card so I needed to do 'modprobe sk98lin; dhcpcd' to get it working

try the 2004.0 livecd for amd64
Comment 2 Jon Sutherland 2004-04-19 18:24:21 UTC 
This bug is still in the 2004.1 (04/19/2004) minimal cd:
  install-amd64-minimal-2004.1.iso
Comment 3 John Davis (zhen) (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2004-06-13 20:42:33 UTC 
yeah, modules were very busted on the early 2004 livecds.
try a 2004.2 test livecd at http://dev.gentoo.org/~wolf31o2/releng
and reopen if it does not work.
Comment 4 Sebastian Spaeth 2004-10-21 08:25:23 UTC 
I have tried this with the official (minimal) 2004.2 amd64 livecd and had to
modprobe sk98lin
to get my network adapter to work. While no problem in itself, it took me 30 minutes of googling to find the correct module. Would be great to autodetect this one...

Please reopen, I may not do that...
