you do not need to recompile the whole kernel, just the modules you
need.
in your menuconfig go into "Bus Options" and choose pcmcia support, with
whatever options you need for your hardware.
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)

Sorry I didn't finish :-)
after putting the right config options in place, as modules, exit
menuconfig and execute the following
make modules && make modules_install
and for good measure:
depmod -a
it should then work without even a reboot.

In my personal opinion is better to emerge pcmcia modules:
"emerge pcmcia-cs" (as is recommended on doc).

What doc are you referring to?
AFAIK if you are on 2.6 emerge pcmcia-cs does not emerge any kernel
modules, but only the support programs for pcmcia.
Thats certainly seems to be what has happenned on my laptop, which has
just been reinstalled with 2004.3 as of last week.
invertigating further, this is from the ebuild:
"For 2.5/2.6 kernels, the PCMCIA support from the kernel should"
"be used. Enable PCMCIA and any further drivers you need there,"
"and then use this package to install the PCMCIA tools."
It is otherwise for 2.4 , the ebuild says this:
"To avail yourself of the pcmcia-cs drivers, you have to disable the"
"PCMCIA support in the kernel. (Otherwise, you might experience"
"CardServices version mismatch errors)"
"Proper kernel config for this package is that PCMCIA/Card Bus under"
"General Setup is off and Wireless LAN (non-ham radio) is on but"
"no modules or drivers turned on under Network Device Support"
"if you have wireless."
"Also note it now appears that you need CONFIG_CRC32 turned on"
"These are the CRC32 Library functions in the config"
(sorry about the formatting)

Micheal not say nothing about the kernel, then I supposed he had used
a stable gentoo-sources (2.4) and not the devel one (2.6).
Best regards.

very true, i guess i kinda made an assumption that he would use the
leatest, everyone in gentooland seems to be on some form of 2.6.

Sorry. I should have pointed that out. I am in fact using 2.6.
I actually got it all running, but I'm not sure exactly how.
I tried a kernel with no PCMCIA support, but when I emerged
pcmcia-cs it failed due to needing PCMCIA support in the kernel.
So I compiled the kernel again, this time turning on every
single PCMCIA related item I could find. This time pcmcia-cs
worked.
Some day I might redo this just to figure out what the critical
steps were, but I need to finish this installation so I can actually
use my laptop.
Still, I can see from the different answers, that there is a bit
of confusion about this issue. I appreciate all of your help as
I'll be installing Gentoo on many other computers, I'm sure.

There is no confusion, we were jsut at odds over which kernel you were
reason - his answer was right for 2.4, mine for 2.6. The ebuild is the
final arbiter :-)
