can't load driver of vmware network on livecd 2008-0-r1
perhaps the pcnet32 modules has a known bug around, I fixed the problem by configuring VMware to simulate a "e1000" ethernet card. hope this would help to those noobs.*

hi:**since I used to install Gentoo through a Universal CD on x86, there's no need to prepare a network connection before my own kernel is ready, *as to livecd2008, network has to be configured to download a stage3 tarball, I started my livecd in vmware server, lspci shows my card is :
** Ethernet controller: Advanced Micro Devices [AMD] 79c970 [PCnet32 LANCE] (rev 10)
somehow, loading the module results in error as follow:*SQUASHFS error: zlib_inflate returned unexpected result 0xfffffffb, srclength 131072, avail_in 722, avail_out 0

seems the module is invalid, but how this could happen? why the card is not configured automatically by the livecd?
uname -a returns:
Linux livecd 2.6.24-gentoo-r5 #1 SMP Thu Jun 26 18:36:15 UTC 2008 i686 Intel(R) Pentium(R) 4 CPU 2.80GHz GenuineIntel GNU/Linux
any clue for the error?*
