Hi everyone!

I know there is many network problems but I havent managed to find a solution to this.
I have this strange network error. I have configured my ip settings and so on correctly for static network and the network module is e1000 and it also loads when i start gentoo, if i choose ifconfig i get :

eth0 Link encap:UNSPEC HWaddr 00-50-8D-00-00-EC-3E-C0-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00
UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1
RX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
TX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000
RX bytes:0 (0.0 b) TX bytes:0 (0.0 b)

My network card is an : Intel Corporation 82547GI Gigabit Ethernet Controller
My network works with the livecd and when i for the first booted into my gentoo the network didnt work, sudently it worked for some time, and now it have stoped working again, I dont understand anything :cry:

This problem keeps me stuck with my new and first gentoo installation.

So if anyone knows what to do im very internested in knowing that

please post the contents of your /etc/conf.d/net file so we can check it for any possible errors.

Also, make sure you have run the following command:

My /etc/conf.d/net :

iface_eth0="192.168.0.2 broadcast 192.168.0.255 netmask 255.255.255.0"
gateway="eth0/192.168.0.1"

My /etc/resolv.conf :

domain lokaltnätverk
nameserver 212.3.0.40
nameserver 212.3.0.2

"rc-update add net.eth0 default" is already added.

Now comes the strange: Ive just did an genkernel --udev all and now the internet is working

, i just wonder for how long.

Any idea why it is like this?

Now when the internet is working the e1000 modules isnt loaded anymore

I typed lsmod and get :

nvidia
parport_pc
parport
floppy
ata_piix
evdev
rtc
eth1394
ahci
sata_qstor
sata_uli
sata_sis
sata_sx4
sata_nv
sata_via
sata_svw
sata_sil
sata_promise
libdata
mise
dm_mirror
dm_snapshot
dm_mod
sbp2
ohci1394
ieee1394
sl811_hcd
ohci_hcd
uhci_hcd
usb_storage
usbhid
ehci_hcd

And then I typed : ls /lib/modules/`uname -r`/kernel/drivers/net "Searching for provided modules"
and getting a huge list and what i examined there where no net module from the provided modules list in the lsmod list.

Thi is really wierd.
I was going to try the modinfo on the e1000 module but now its gone and now Im not really sure what module is for my network
