I am a newbie, and so simply generate the kernel with the command "genkernel
all" without any modification of the .config file.

Maybe I should compile the driver into the kernel, but which option
corresponds to my eth0 device? I am confused.

Thank you.

Hi,
Check if e100 is compiled as module or is build-in (the kernel).
Run "lsmod" as root to see available modules and then to load "modprobe
e100".
Have you customized your kernel-config or just used the default one
(genkernel).
