My unorthodox but highly effective way to resolve issues like this: If google or menuconfig's help function doesn't give me an answer in 10 minutes, I boot off Ubuntu Netbook Remix on a usb stick (it's a 1G download), and note which modules it loads and settings it uses for stuff. Boot back into gentoo, configure and build accordingly ... sorted -- alan dot mckinnon at gmail dot com
