Yes, as I said in detail in my OP : 'insmod atl1e' works, but as before 'pppoe-start' times out when trying to connect to my ISP; this is using the Gentoo minimal install ISO , which has that driver. As I also said in my OP, I can't compile a driver (or kernel) using the install system, as it doesn't have 'make'. How have others got Gentoo installed on their 1005HA's ? -- did they all use wireless access to the Internet ? Again, does anyone have advice re trying a netless install ? -- ========================,,============================================ SUPPORT ___________//___, Philip Webb ELECTRIC /] [] [] [] [] []| Cities Centre, University of Toronto TRANSIT `-O----------O---' purslowatchassdotutorontodotca
