I'm using kernel 2.4.24
I have a etherfast usb network adapter
when I compiled the kernel I enabled pegasus support (driver I needed)
I set it up as a module as well
ok on bootup I'm getting a error

*Bringing eth0 up
*Failed to bring eth0 up

when I run lsmod I get the following

pegasus 16256 0 (unused)

I really can't figure out what's wrong
it worked during the live cd

How about manual (ifconfig) starting network ?
What do you have in your /etc/conf.d/net ?

PS : nice nick ;)

when I type ifconfig it only shows lo

my conf.d/net config is

Btw I'm behind a router which my main pc is set as
192.168.1.100 I'm just trying to get my laptop working on gentoo

Code:
#/etc/conf.d/net

# This is basically the ifconfig argument without the ifconfig $iface
#
#iface_eth0="192.168.1.101 broadcast 192.168.1.255 netmask 255.255.255.0

#iface_eth1="207.170.82.202 broadcast 207.0..255.255 netmask 255.255.255.0

#For Dhcp set iface_eth? to "dhcp"
#For passiong options to dhcpcd use dhcpcd_eth?

iface_eth0="dhcp"
#dhcpcd_eth0="..."

#For adding aliases to a interface
#
#alias_eth0=""

#NB:   The next is only used for aliases
#
#To add a custom netmask/broadcast address to created aliases,
#uncomment and change accordingly. Leave commented to assign
#defaults for that interface.
#
#brodcast_eth0="192.168.0.255 192.168.0.255"
#netmask_eth0="255.255.255.0 255.255.255.0"

#For setting the default gateway
#
#gateway="eth0.192.168.1.1

and when you type
ifconfig -a
can you see eth0 ?

If not, boot from liveCD and check what modules where used !
Send also your USB-part of .config file.
