   It probably means that the driver for your NIC is neither built into the   
   kernel nor as a module. Install sys-apps/pciutils, if you have not   
   already done so, and run 'lspci'. From this you should be able to   
   identify the NIC on your motherboard, then update your kernel   
   configuration to include the driver for the NIC and rebuild the kernel.
