You could copy the files from the Gentoo livecd or from Knoppix directly and modify the script to suit your needs.
cheers

Have you modified the /etc/conf.d/net file to tell you computer to use dhcp. Below is what the first lines should look like to use dhcp:
| Code: |
# /etc/conf.d/net:
# $Header: /home/cvsroot/gentoo-src/rc-scripts/etc/conf.d/net,v 1.7 2002/11/18 19:39:22 azarah Exp $
# Global config file for net.* rc-scripts
# This is basically the ifconfig argument without the ifconfig $iface
#
#face_eth0="192.168.0.2 broadcast 192.168.0.255 netmask 255.255.255.0"
#iface_eth1="207.170.82.202 broadcast 207.0.255.255 netmask 255.255.0.0"
# For DHCP set iface_eth? to "dhcp"
# For passing options to dhcpcd use dhcpcd_eth?
#
iface_eth0="dhcp"
#dhcpcd_eth0="..."
|
by default I think iface_eth0="dhcp" is commented out and iface_eth0="192.168.0.2 broadcast blah blah" isn't. |

There is no utility for an ethernet/dhcp configuration. It's actually quite simple. You just need to edit one line in the file /etc/conf.d/net.....
Find:
#ifconfig_eth0=( "dhcp" )
and uncomment it.
then | Code: | rc-update add net.eth0 default
/etc/init.d/net.eth0 start |
If it doesn't start, then you have a kernel config issue. |

how did you compile the network card? as module or directly into the kernel.
if you use a module, then you probably need to add it to /etc/modules.autoload.d/kernel-2.4 or /etc/modules.autoload.d/kernel-2.6 (depending on your kernel).

| i used genkernel because i reinstalled gentoo the other day because when i manually configured my kernel it didnt work either. When i rebuilt my system i also put forcedeth in the module autoload file so its in there. Do you think i should manually rebuild my kernel? |

try giving it a static ip just for testing purposes.
| Code: | ifconfig eth0 xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx netmask xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx broadcast xxx.xxx.xxx.255 up
route add default gw 192.168.0.1
|
applying the approperate ip's where needed. make sure that your nameservers are correct in /etc/resolv.conf
also, the domain shouldnt go with the nameservers (i think im correct in saying that) but should go into /etc/dnsdomainname.
| Code: | nameserver xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
|
lemme know if this helps. |

using the /etc/conf.d/net script to give it static a static ip, netmask,braodcast and gateway works its just the dhcp thats not working. Right now ive tried using:
iface_eth0="dhcp" and
ifconfig_eth0="dhcp"
none of them have worked. |
