The majority of wireless ethernet cards are currently supported by
either their respective drivers in the Linux kernel or using their
Windows drivers via ndiswrapper. Sabayon Linux should automatically
detect the correct module/s for your computer's wireless ethernet card.
If this isn't the case (You don't have a device called eth0 or
eth1 after typing ifconfig -a as root in terminal) then type the
command lspci in a root terminal to identify your PCI based wireless ethernet card or type lsusb -v in a root terminal to identify your USB based wireless ethernet card.
The information you are looking for is the line that follows on
from Network controller: , for PCI Based wireless ethernet cards.
The information you are looking for is found after the
idVendor, iManufactur and iProduct lines , for USB Based wireless
ethernet cards.
