the network install, kernel compile etc etc worked fine, but when the install finally completed, the OS failed to recognize the network card (even though the installer recognized the card correctly, setup DHCP etc etc.)

anyone know why,

TIA
 
I bet there are some good forums on gentoo's website for help. Other than that do you like it? I am a slackware user, but I heard some good things about gentoo.
 
OK,
If you compiled your NIC driver as a module and not in the Kernel you need to add it to /etc/modules.autoload. Just add the name of the driver to that file, like tulip if that's the driver your using. Don't do this if compiled in the Kernel.
You also need to edit /etc/conf.d/net to get the network configured for first boot.
Once you've got that done run rc-update add net.eth0 default.
