regenerating net.eth0 [SOLVED]

Hi,
It seems that in trying to create a second network interface, and using a symbolic link between my existing /etc/init.d/net.eth0 file and a new net.eth1 file, I have somehow erased my net.eth0 file. Perhaps I created the symbolic link in the wrong order... It was a Monday.... At any rate, in trying to secure wireless internet I'm now stuck with no internet access at all.
I'm wondering whether it's possible to regenerated that net.eth0 file. Is there a package I can run that can re-write the file? I've tried using the net-setup command that I used when I was installing gentoo, but my system can't seem to find it now...

Any help with this would be greatly appreciated. Thanks very much,

nanoo

Ok, excellent - I'll try that when I get back from work.
Quick question: the VERSION - is it the version of the kernel, or the version of baselayout?

Thanks for your help,

It's the version of the rc-scripts package. Don't worry, just use tab completion and you'll notice what version(s) you have.

Thanks so much for your help - I realized as I was looking at /usr/portage/distfiles that you had probably meant the version of rc-scripts, and after unpacking I found net.eth0 and after moving it to /etc/init.d and rebooting I now have access to the internet again.

Thanks again for your help,
