You turned off something you shouldn't have. Probably in the networking
section. The standard gentoo kernels I've tried will talk to the pcmcia
network card, assuming it talked to it during the install.
I've had the best luck during the initial install to only make the
changes specified in their install guide initially. Then play with the
settings a couple at a time after you have it running so that you have
something to fall back on. You might also want to make sure you have
pcmcia under 'use=' in /etc/make.conf
I tried this on my laptop, but gave up as my laptop is too old and slow.
You ever tried compiling X at 180 mhz? It wasn't to bad as console only
though. A fun distro to play with.
