Gentoo - Forgot to Configure Network
Hi,
I have managed to install gentoo (just the core), it boots up fine, simple commands work but I have no internet connection.
I have the Dell Inspirion 1520 with the intel 3945 ABG Pro WIFI card.
In the kernel, I checked off support for this card, <*> (not as a module).
when I dhcpd starts up, I see the error message
"Network interface eth0 does not exist, please verify hardware or kernel module (driver)"
ifconfig only shows "l0"
ifconfig eth0
"eth0: unknown interface: No such device"
I must have forgotten to do something but don't know what that would be.
/etc/conf.d/net (I left this file blank)
I appreciate your help,
Cheers - CC7
PS: I am using the latest 32-BIT knoppix CD to write this (and I used it to install Gentoo.)

Edit:added PS.
