eth0 error

I'm trying to get dhcp started for my lan (eth0) at boot, and for that tobe my internet connection. However, during boot I see errors with dhcp for eth0. My wireless connection (ath0) then is activated and starts dhcp, so I can connect through that. I would like to use a wired connection when available. But I keep getting this error showing that eth0 doesn't start during boot:

These are set settings from my "/etc/conf.d/net" and it works fine

Or the problem is that he did not etc-update correctly and is using an old version of net.eth0.

FIX

Thanx guys - problem solved - I removed the " # " before iface_eth0="192.168.0.2 broadcast 192.168.0.255 netmask 255.255.255.0" - and the problem was solved.
