I am currently trying to get gentoo linux installed on a Dell inspiron 3700 with a 3com PCMCIA network card (3ccfe575ct model). When I had red hat installed on that laptop, it used a kernel driver 3c575_cb for the card. However, when I configured the gentoo kernel, menuconfig did not have that as an option. All it had was drivers for 3c574 and 3c589. I did not configure them into the kernel The PCMCIA module is being loaded, however the load of eth0 (the pcmcia network card) fails when dhcpcd is attempted to be initialized. I have tried to recompile the kernel with support for 3c574 and 3c589 with no success. However, I suspect it is because I am not recompiling the kernel correctly. Here are the steps that I take. cd /usr/src/linux # make menuconfig # make dep && make clean bzImage modules modules_install # mv /boot/bzImage /boot/bzImage.orig [fails because bzImage does not exist] # cp /usr/src/linux/arch/i386/boot/bzImage /boot is that all i need to do to recompile the kernel? Will it then load the new kernel the next time I reboot? thanks in advance. Any help or direction to places on the web that would go into this in detail would be helpful.(although google searches have turned up little) -Bill
