Never done that (using generic config), i always config my own kernel and genkernel options (when using it ;) Running "genkernel --menuconfig --install --udev --bootsplash all", but you may choose less options, just leave '--menuconfig --install all' for the config,compile,install part. Or just manually config/build your kernel (in the docs). The initial config file is taken from /usr/share/genkernel/x86/kernel-config-2.6 and the used/resulting (at the end) config in /etc/kernels/ dir. Think that netcard config is somewhere under Networking options,... - don't be afraid, to get more out of your box you'll have to do some changes yourself, take your time read the help check the options etc. HTH.
