I am the psychotherapist.  Please, describe your problems.  Each time
you are finished talking, type RET twice.

I have to recompile my kernel again.

Why do you say?

because the network driver is pretty horrible...

Can you elaborate on that?

It was bringing the link down every few minutes, for about 30 seconds
at a time.

Is it because of your plans that you say?

No.

I would appreciate it if you would continue.

So I tried using the alternate, official driver. But that only
recognized wan0, and not lan0, the device that was giving me trouble.

Go on, don't be afraid.

So, that didn't work. Obviously. So now I'm trying gentoo-sources
instead of git-sources, and hoping Gentoo includes a patch for my problem.

I need a little more detail please.

If that's not the problem, then maybe it's my gigabit switch.

Maybe your life has something to do with this.

Uh.

You're being a bit brief, perhaps you could go into detail.
