There seems to be no easily accessible driver for the Ethernet controller, which is 'Atheros AR8132' (shown via 'lspci'). I'm using 'install-x86-minimal-20091020.iso' on a USB stick; it has 2 drivers atl1e/atl1e.ko atlx/atl1.ko in /lib/modules/2.6.30-gentoo-r7/kernel/drivers/net/ , but neither allows me to connect to my ISP, timing out every time. The problem is not the modem, as M$ XP can connect successfully. I've searched for drivers via Google & the Gentoo forum, but I can't compile the one I found, as the Gentoo installer lacks 'make' & the module has to be compiled for the specific kernel there. Also, the pkg -- AR81Family-linux-v1.0.0.10.tar.gz , which is almost the same as l1c-linux-v1.0.0.11-test.tar.gz -- dates from January 2009 , rather a long time ago in computing terms. I also have SystemRescue on a USB, but it doesn't do ADSL. I don't expect to be using the Internet with the netbook, so it's needed only for installing Gentoo. Has anyone managed to do a networkless install ? Advice welcome. -- ========================,,============================================ SUPPORT ___________//___, Philip Webb ELECTRIC /] [] [] [] [] []| Cities Centre, University of Toronto TRANSIT `-O----------O---' purslowatchassdotutorontodotca
