Thanks... I tried it, but didn't reboot yet. I was going to upgrade kernel at the same time, it tells me this during "make install" phase: DEPMOD 3.2.11-gentoo Warning: you may need to install module-init-tools See http://www.codemonkey.org.uk/docs/post-halloween-2.6.txt But looking in the scripts seems the test is not valid for kmod: if ! "$DEPMOD" -V 2>/dev/null | grep -q module-init-tools; then echo "Warning: you may need to install module-init-tools" >&2 echo "See http://www.codemonkey.org.uk/docs/post-halloween-2.6.txt"; >&2 sleep 1 fi so I think it's a false alarm. Now I just found http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel.modules/659 this seems to confirm it. And of course while I was compiling, the new kernel 3.3 has showed up in portage, with this problem fixed. :) Now I'm rebooting, watching ping replied, fingers crossed... it's alive! Success. :) Thanks, Paul
