Gentoo 2.6.27-r7 network drivers (eth0) ?

[SuperFlo]

Hi! (First of all : excuse my english)

I just installed gentoo using Parallels Desktop (kernel 2.6.27-r7)
My problem is that I forgot to select the driver for my networking card while I was compiling the kernel (make menuconfig).
My question is : What should I cross in :
Device Drivers -->
Network Device Support -->

... in order to have a running eth0 ? I did search on the Internet starting by my VM networking card Mac which gave me constructors : Parallels Inc. ...

Any idea ?

I'm not a Linux guru, so can't give a complete answer (and always do compiling new kernels with command make oldconfig

In Parallels VM (until Parallels Tools are installed), used Realtek8029 network card. It is an NE2000 compatible card.

PS: and when Parallels Tools are installed, the special Parallels network driver should be used if all is ok with Parallels Tools installation

I'll go for this and post whether or not is worked.
Thanks

Yup it worked thank you (and pciutils that I couldn't emerge since I didn't have a valid eth0)
