lspci produces this output for two of my network cards.
One is onboard and another is PCI.

Ethernet Controler Macronix INC [MXIC] MX987x5 (rev 25)
Enternet Controller VIA Technologies VT6102 Rhine II Rev 74

when I do ifconfig I only see loopback device.
Distribution is gentoo linux.
What options do i need to enable during make menuconfig
for these cards to be recognized.

thanks

did compile the driver in the kernel? the try ifconfig -a probably you
didn't configure an ip address.
Otherwise recompile the kernel with the correct driver for both nics.
