I have a 3Com Gigabit NIC, and there isn't a driver available for that card on my LiveCD. net-setup seems like it works, but when I run ifconfig afterwards it doesn't find an ethernet card, it finds a 'local loopback'. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3.
Which card is it and which driver does it use? Did you try to manually modprobe the driver?
output from lspci would be useful as well

Output: (ethernet related part) 0000:00:0e.0 Ethernet Controller: 3Com Corporation 3c940 10/100/1000 Base-T [Marvell] (rev12) The liveCD I'm working off of has 3c574 and 3c589, but doesn't have 3c940... I've tried seeing if I can work off of the earlier drivers, but those didn't help any. Hope that helps! -Marissa Marissa- you need to use the module "sk98lin", or if you use the upcoming 2005.0 livecd, you can use "skge" as well. 2004.3: # modprobe sk98lin 2005.0: # modprobe skge or # modprobe sk98lin for more info, see the gentoo/AMD64 technotes at http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/base/amd64/technotes/index.xml
