If you execute modprobe it prints a message stating please use insmod. The key is to check dependencies in the modules.dep file. Also, the current rc6 iso does not have pppd present. I was able to connect to the network by mounting my Vector linux partition and copying pppd and wvdial to the gentoo partition. Wvdial requires libstdc++ so I had to copy it into /mnt/gentoo/usr/local/lib. Plus, I was lucky that the vector linux binaries would work in the gentoo environment. So, I ended up loading the following modules before chrooting: scsi_mod sd_mod sr_mod aic7xxx slhc ppp_generic ppp_async ppp_deflate scott
