Then and only then will the right things appear under Device drivers/Networking Support, there will be a section for pcmcia drivers. Choose the NE2000 compatible one, and it will build pcnet_cs (according to what you read under Help anyway) On Sat, 2004-12-04 at 00:36 -0800, michael shiloh wrote: > Hello all, > > I'm installing Gentoo on an old laptop.
