[gentoo-user] Ethernet card not working, tried tulip drivers...

[Marcus Wanner <marcusw@cox.net>]

Hi!

I just followed the (excellent, easily understandable) gentoo 
installation handbook up to chapter 10, where it says to reboot. I did 
so, but I had the same problem as the user here: 
http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-networking-3/networking-eth0-does-not-exist-gentoo-349330/

As suggested in there, I have recompiled the kernel with the tulip 
drivers (everything under the tulip subtree in make menuconfig), copied 
it to /boot, and booted it, but it still gives the same message. I have 
verified that I am booting the newly compiled kernel with the tulip 
drivers, but it still doesn't work.

Note that I do not have the same ethernet card as is mentioned in the 
link above, and have not been able to find out exactly what it's name 
is, besides the fact that the name includes "Tornado". Also note that it 
worked fine in the Gentoo minimal installation cd.

To sum it up: How do I figure out what the name of my card is, and after 
that, what driver do I need?

Thanks in advance!

Marcus
