It sounds like your /etc/conf.d/net stuff is not configured correctly; consult the manual.

I left it blank so that it would use dhcp.

In order to use dhcp you need the following line in /etc/conf.d/net

Code:

config_eth0=( "dhcp" )

If it says eth0 is not found then that means that the kernel does not even know about the card. Did you add the module for your network card to /etc/modules.autoload.d/<yourkernel>.

I used genkernel all to compile my kernel, so I assumed that it installed support for every card. If mine's integrated into the mobo, how can I found out what it's called, and which module to load?

In that case did you add coldplug to the default runlevel

Code:

rc-update add coldplug default


If coldplug is loading then:
Post a listing from 'lsmod' and /proc/net/dev

If the network card module is loaded then you might try to bring it up manually to see if it works.

It works now, I had to load an extra module. How do I make this permanent?

To automatically load a module during boot add a line to /etc/modules.autoload.d/<yourkernel>.

I met the same problem, but
I run this "rc-update add coldplug default". It showed /etc/init.d/coldplug not found; absorting. How can I solve this problem? Any suggestion. Thanks

If /etc/init.d/coldplug is not found then you need to emerge coldplug.
