Hmm...closer. I get this: !!! 'sys-kernel/gentoo-sources-2.6.17-r7' is not a valid package atom. !!! Please check ebuild(5) for full details. !!! (Did you specify a version but forget to prefix with '='?)

Once I get this card running, I'll be more self sufficient, I swear :) Is there like an apt-cache search for portage?
