[Wlug] I got my sparc64 gentoo on the network

[ken jones]

Thank you for suggesting that I compare two dmesg boot message outputs.

"grep eth0" on the dmesg outputthat worked referenced  HAPPYMEAL.  The 
same 'grep' on the boot log that did not work had no HAPPYMEAL string.

I had a 'CONFIG_HAPPYMEAL=m' line in .config.  I changed it to 
'CONFIG_HAPPYMEAL=y' and recompiled using genkernel.

NOW MY NEWLY BOOTED sparc64 IS NETWORKED.  The sky's the limit. :-)

What I do not understand is how do I know which Module contains which 
functionality.  If I had stuck with the '=m' config I should be able to 
add a module at boot time.  How do I know which module to add?
