Re: When: Gentoo 1.4rcX with PCMCIA support?

Andreas,

following the installation guide http://www.gentoo.org/doc/build.html I was 
able after booting from my1.4rc1 CD to get connection. I have a build-in 
PCMCIA and using the command
net-setup
and giving ip, netmask, broadcoast, gw ... established the network.
ciao
theo

PS ifconfig works as well
