It's just a standard Linksys 10/100 PCMCIA. Do you have trouble in general or just with Gentoo?
For Gentoo, I just had to type in "gentoo dopcmcia" during the boot prompt to enable PCMCIA services, and then the card was automatically configured and set up to use DHCP.

Justin, do you have an onboard NIC or a PCMCIA card? I ask because I have
had a tough time getting my PCMCIA card to work!

Thanks for the info. This is my first Gentoo install. I decided to go with
the stage2 for 686 (Installing on my PII laptop). I had already downloaded
the Athlon ISO, so I booted with that, and then just downloaded the 686
stage2 tarball and installed using that. It's working out so far. I figure I
will save the stage1 install until after I get a better feel for Gentoo.
Maybe if I decide to install it on my AthlonXP desktop. Are you talking
aboutthe genkernel script? I decided to try it out too. Seems to be working
so far - my laptop should be just about wrapping up compiling the kernel. I
will just compile my own kernel later if I don't like it. Fwew.. my poor
laptop is going to be compiling until the cows come home. And I haven't even
gotten to compiling X-and-friends yet. I use blackbox, but I think I'm still
going to need to compile Gnome/KDE support for the applications that need
it.. Justin ----- Original Message ----- From: Jacob Gemmell

Subject: Re: RE: Gentoo 1.4 released Stage 1 can be optimized for any CPU.
Its basically the point at whichyou start to define your optimizations. So
the Stage 1 for a AthlonXP is the same as a Stage1 for a Pentium 3 is the
same as a Stage1 for a Pentium4 is the same as a Stage1 for a Via C3 is the
same as a Stage1 for a Duron and so on and so forth. Down load the basic ISO
and start from there. I noticed in the new instructions that the install now
includes a script for generating yourkernel. I'm curious to se how that
worksout. On Tue, 5 Aug 2003, Justin Dieters wrote: Is using the basic iso
