My laptop is a Compaq Armada 1700, I think I got build-in ethernet... When I installed Ubuntu the internet worked fine (auto install)
Edit: my sound card is ESS 1688, and my netcard is a 3Com Megahertz Lan (model 3ccfe574bt), if thats any help...

i've found this module for your eth0 "3c574_cs" ,
and for sound "snd-card-audiodrive1688"
arch + gentoo + initng + python = enlisy

ok, thank you very much, as a last question... am I just supposed to insert my eth0 and sound into the the MODULES line as this (including defaults):
MODULES=(!usbserial !ide-scsi !3c574_cs !snd-card-audiodrive1688)
or as this:
MODULES=(!3c574_cs !snd-card-audiodrive1688)

take away "!" before those modules you wanna load,
also, maybe your network card is a built-in pcmcia, you may have to do something more to get it to work,

Well, now I have configured what I can, I got the system rebooted, but under the reboot, it says: Network is not running. Try "Network start".
How can I enter the so called "network start" I tried to write #network start , but that doesnt work. Please help. I need an internet connection to dl with pacman!
I have also tried writing "ifconfig", but it only showed my lo, not my eth0. I dont have a clue why it is doing this... :?
in my /etc/rc.conf it says:
lo="lo 127.0.0.1
eth0="dhcp"
INTERFACES=(lo eth0)

How can I enter the so called "network start"

Now it comes up with a message saying:
: : Starting Network [FAIL]
I have proberbly not configured my network as I should (I have tried)... But I really don't know how to do. I have tried severeal How-to's. But I can't get it to work :cry:

try and start pcmcia daemon, and post your /etc/rc.conf

Just a suggestion ( I haven't checked..you may have already done this)...check out the IRC channel to get some faster responses to questions.
it's on freenode, so you could point your client at irc.freenode.net , channel: #archlinux .
The suggestion box only accepts patches.

Thanks, I'll try it out
